family coach

The church could do this (read this article). With many families struggling with acceptable ways to discipline their children, preschool/children’s ministries could organize a coaching team to help these families answer parenting questions. Often families with parenting struggles are not regularly involved in a church or small group or Bible study group so they haven’t established a network of peer families for help and friendship. Churches could establish an organization in which they offer coaching services to families who seek assistance. The church must advertise outside of its own walls though; go out in the community, counseling centers, schools, early childhood centers.
