by ishine Team | Jul 28, 2009 | Self-esteem
Believe me when I say I am the queen of fear and worry. I’ve been wearing that crown all my life. And becoming a parent only gives you that much more to worry about. We worry when our kids get sick; we worry when they have a problem with a friend; we worry when they...Testimonials
As a parent I really appreciated the range of activities the girls did and the different range of tools they learned about – all in service of building their confidence. And best of all was the bonding and camaraderie with the other girls in the program.
My daughter (9 yrs old) and I have been seeing a child psychologist to help with her anxiety, low moods, friendship troubles, feelings of being unloved and overall resistance to everything I say. I knew if we were experiencing these issues now, we may be heading for a rough road through the teen years. Although we have made some progress with the psychologist, I still have feelings of helplessness, more questions and I feel dependent on each visit for answers. I also wonder how my daughter… Read more

I loved the honesty with which Jill talks of her personal experiences. This gives such a realness to her advice, which makes it more valuable. The biggest thing I learned from the interview series is to take ownership of my feelings as being separate from my childrens’ tantrums and acting out. Often I have negative thoughts running through my mind causing me anxiety, so when my children misbehave, I react badly. I’ve learned to calm down first myself to diffuse their behavior.

This was such a great opportunity for my daughter to experience. She has been able to better understand her views on what she wants in relationships with herself and with others. In today’s world it helps to have a tribe help to guide our children to become strong and independent thinkers who are aware of their surroundings.

Jill’s coaching and time was so worth every penny, I got bigger “ah-ha’s” than I ever did in any counseling session or any other program I’ve done (and there have been many!) It’s so helpful to have someone to serve as a witness, who isn’t emotionally invested per se, someone who can help me see more clearly or help me see a new perspective that I just couldn’t get to all by myself. I have been waiting for years to find a coach/mentor I could work with that wouldn’t just hold my hand, but also … Read more
