“I’m so thankful for the shift in perspective that coaching has given me. I view my children differently—more positively—than I ever have. The way I was viewing my kids was blocking our connection. Seeing my kids as called and capable with God-given gifts has allowed me to let go of trying to control them and modify their behavior.” -Kate
