It’s time for me to interview you! Yes you! As teaching partners, I want to highlight YOU
as the relationship expert. It would be a great interview to having talk about the need for
parents to be more respectful and loving if they want to minimize the chances of having
children who are going to be challenging. We can discuss this some more, but I am
putting the bat in your hand and leading you to the plate. Parents need you and you
know it.
1) you have an expression you use when we teach: the strength of partnership is not …
-- Use your kids have a great relationship…what does that mean?
2) do you think children, especially the challenging ones, can be difficult on a
relationship – what perspective do you bring to your couples coaching
3) if so, why/how does that cause a rift with the parents and how can they overcome
that - what are some of the ways parents can move closer together, especially if they
have a CTS
4) when couples come to see you, what do you tell them when they feel like when their
moving away from their spouse or want to explore divorce – you can either have what
you want or the reasons why not…completion process
6) the dangers of “withholding” in relationship
7) what was it like for you to have a son – home was haven
8) our model combines personal growth and stress management - women renewing
themselves
