It's full of sample coaching dialogues, exercises to practice and real feedback from young people about the impact of coaching on their lives.

And he illustrates it with real stories from coaching his own family.
Video Review
Greg's strong conviction is that parents are the best coaches for their children, and that the coach approach is a key to successful parenting. This conviction fueled his desire to write and develop the Pro-Active Parent Coaching model to equip parents to connect with and empower their children.
Greg, Lynn, Katelyn, Hannah and Joshua moved to Nova Scotia from Ontario in the summer of 2009 and reside in the beautiful community of Pleasantville. Some of their family hobbies include hiking, camping, fishing, motorcycling, and volunteering at a local farm.
"Greg provides tremendous insight to the fact that children are not seeking independence from their parents' as we sometimes think, but rather from our limiting parenting style! This is a significant breakthrough concept for parenting. Greg's practical advice makes connecting with your child realistic and attainable. This book is backed with biblical insights that will save and strengthen your relationship. A must read for all parents no matter the age of your child." Nick & Michelle Allaire, 2 children
"This is a marvelous tool for parents that I wish I had read when my children were young. As a mother of two adult sons, and with a background in social work/psychology, I had come some ways toward this approach to parenting (as opposed to the child-rearing practices of my parents' generation), but I could certainly have benefited from the clear guidelines Greg gives us in the coaching model. I feel this will be a blessing to any family where these principles are applied!
