Author Tanisha Taylor Says Parents are the Foundation, Coaching is the Bridge

Author and coach Tanisha Taylor explained the thinking behind her book, “When Parenting Is Not Enough,” during an appearance on the Intentional Living Show. She sat down with Dr. Constance Longmire to talk about raising children with support from more than one direction. A three part message Taylor’s message is easy to remember. Parents are the foundation. Coaching is the bridge. Community strengthens the journey. Together, those ideas shape her book and the coaching work she does with families. Hearing feedback from teachers Taylor shared advice for parents on how to listen when a teacher offers feedback. Her point is to hear it without taking it personally. That approach can keep the conversation focused on the child. It can also help parents and teachers work as partners. Every child has a journey Taylor also discussed why every child has their own life journey. Parents can support that path without measuring a child against someone else’s story. Coaching moments at home Families can bring coaching into everyday life. Taylor talked about how parents can use coaching moments at home to guide their children. Programs from fourth grade to young adulthood Taylor offers coaching programs for fourth graders through young adults. Each one is built around faith, finances, family relationships, and fitness and health. Book signing and free ebook Taylor will hold a book signing Oct. 24 in Twinsburg.
