Apply for Parent Coaching Certification Program Thank you for your interest in the Peaceful Discipline parent coaching certification program, accredited by the American Society for the Positive Care of Children (American SPCC) and pending accreditation from the International Coaching Federation (ICF)! This application helps us get to know you to see if you’re likely to be a good fit for one of our upcoming groups.
We’ll start with a few basic questions. This will also serve as your coaching agreement.
Now, for some more detail. This is to help ensure we enroll only people who are really interested in and committed to doing this work. Short answers are perfectly fine.
Why do you want to become a certified parent coach?
I understand that while this program is or will be fully accredited, this program in and of itself results in certification only if I pass all required components of it, and ICF accreditation is completed and paid for separately from this program. This program may or may not count toward ICF accreditation if you choose to pursue it. Type "YES" if you agree.
