Parent coaching

I'm 41 years old and I've 2 children: 5 and 9. My daughter, Victoria is 5 and Samuel is 9 (Pri 3). My Homepage explains a little about my sports background and my current business. Being a parent myself, I'm very passionate about the process of parenting, after all, we chat with friends/fellow moms about our kids, almost all the time, isn't it? 'Most' of us are interested in parenting and want to learn how to bring up our children to be self-motivated individuals, compassionate, independent, brave, kind and (hopefully-don't we all?) succeed in life. Nope, I'm not referring to becoming a 'kiasu' and 'kiasi' parent, neither do I completely embrace the other extreme school of thought of the 'western' way is the only adventurous and cool way. We must never forget our asian and chinese culture and roots yet we must continually widen our minds and teach our children to be fearless, yet disciplined (typical chinese) and empathetic! We focus on good character development and once that's taken care of, the rest will take care of itself. My parenting method is simply one that moves us forward in this clash of civilisations, between east and west, tradition and modernity. Note that modernity does not mean total freedom. Read more at ​http://www.rachelcharis.com/parent-coaching.html
