We spoke with Jacqueline Telgheder, a Darien-based Parent Coach, who just launched her first book, Parenting with Ease. This helpful guide is filled with “impactful action steps” for parents that “present a way out of the trenches” while raising children and guiding them through all stages of development.
How long have you been a Parent Coach and what led you to that path?
I became a certified parent coach 4 years ago when I was looking for a new career path. I just knew it was the right fit for me. My four kids were young at the time, and I was struggling to keep my cool. I felt drained and defeated a lot of days, and I knew there had to be a better way. My schooling helped me discover my own strengths and those of my children; in turn, it helped me see that there are so many ways to parent well and to create more ease and joy in your everyday life.
What inspired you to write your debut book, Parenting with Ease?
I am so incredibly passionate about the work I do because it works!! The families I coach experience profound, long-lasting change. It’s so incredible to be part of this journey with them, and I want as many people as possible to experience it. The book might not offer the same transformation as one-on-one coaching, but I have done my best to create a similar experience for the reader.
Tell us a little about your parenting guide.
Filled with relatable stories, fresh approaches, and impactful action steps, this honest and insightful guide presents a way out of the trenches. Parenting with Ease will help you:
*See the good in yourself and your child, even amidst the hardships.
*Draw upon your own strengths and priorities to work through your challenges.
*Learn strategies to minimize tantrums and arguing while building meaningful connection.
*Empower yourself to set limits that optimize the development of your child. Learn practical tools that work.
What is some practical advice everyone can use?
You are not alone in your challenges. Forget the “shoulds” and what’s “normal.” Instead, get clear on what matters most to you, and what works best for your unique child.
Where can people find your new book?
On Amazon! It’s been a #1 New Release since it launched, and it has a lot of reviews to help potential readers get a really good feel for what to expect.
