One-on-One Sessions

Parents can be overwhelmed with the responsibilities of raising children. I hear from my clients all of the time, how frustrated they are with the meltdowns, backtalk, helpless baby antics, and sibling rivalry that takes place at home. I also hear how they struggle with ‘parent guilt,’ causing them to cave in to their son or daughters demands and protests. Many of my parents fear their child will think of them as being a "bad parent" — as if there is such a thing!

As a Happy Family Coach, I empower my clients to create clear boundaries so they can enjoy a loving, harmonious and peaceful life.

During your time with me (Danielle Alvarez Greer), you will be introduced to The Happy Kid Toolkit™ to demonstrate how the human heart and mind works to create the disharmony we experience when faced with conflict of any kind. We actually manifest our own misery by believing the unhappy thoughts & stories we’ve made up about ourselves, others, the world, and even about God. I believe that each of us will experience conflict. What most people lack, are the practical skills to effectively and peacefully handle conflict in biblical way. Jesus models it perfectly for us.

So how do we combat the lies (unhappy thoughts/stories) that the enemy throws at us daily? Scripture reveals many ways for us to resolve conflict. One of my favorite verses in the Bible comes from Romans 12:2 “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” I quote this scripture often, as a way to demonstrate how vital it is for us to renew our mind (thoughts) daily. The heart and mind can be deceiving when it comes to handling conflict. We typically create an unhappy story about the conflict we’re experiencing, and immediately look for someone or something to BLAME! But why? Well in all honesty, we blame because we don’t like to feel bad. And for majority of people dealing with conflict is no fun. Some people will do anything they can to avoid conflict; often playing too weak or sick to deal with it. We call this role the Helpless Baby. Others will see conflict as an opportunity to assault or attack others. We call this role the Blaming Bully. And there are those who want peace so bad that they’re willing to deny or pretend there is no conflict. We call this role the Bossy Helper. Bossy Helpers are peaceful and smiling on the outside but on the inside they’re conflicted. If a Bossy Helper asks the Lord to search their hearts, they are shocked to find thoughts and feelings of resentment, bitterness, anger, slander, gossip, and frustration. Unresolved conflict will leave us thinking sinful thoughts. Unhappy sinful thoughts cause us to feel bad. Unhappy feelings cause us to act out in very unhealthy sinful ways towards God and others. When this happens, we find ourselves smack dab on what I like to call, The Unhappy Kid Triangle.

During our time together, we will explore your belief system (thoughts, feelings and behaviors/defense strategies and patterns) so that you will have the opportunity to see how — and why — you avoid, attack or deny personal conflict. You'll leave each one-on-one coaching session with a set of skills, tools, and biblical guidance to use toward obtaining higher levels of joy, happiness and satisfaction in all your experiences (including the not so happy ones).



"We started almost a year ago. I feel that each session gives my daughter and me more 'tools' for happiness, love and respect. It's great having a coach who can demonstrate real-life examples. Especially for my 9-year-old, that's an important element, as she can often see herself from the other side. We love Danielle's positive outlook on life, great energy and warm smile and always draw on it in the weeks following each session." - Happy Mommy
