A family
is defined as two or more people who construct
an intimate environment that they define as
family--an environment in which they will
generally share a living space, commitment, and
the variety of roles and functions usually
considered part of family life. This definition
encompasses not only a family with a husband,
wife and children, but also single parent
families, blended families, gay or lesbian
couples with or without children, extended
family groupings and other related or unrelated
people who live together as a family group.
What is family life coaching?
It is a purposeful dialogue among the members of the family, intended to increase personal satisfaction and the self-esteem of the family unit.
Demands on individuals in the family often prevent families from having problem free relaxation time together. Problem-free relaxation time means no talk about anyone’s responsibilities. It is a time to feel good, laugh and bond. Schools, religious organizations, and beliefs in general, regarding getting ahead lessen the chances for bonding as a family. There is so much talk about “family values” in the media, but families struggle to find quality time together.
Family is where you want to be at the end of every day.
Families have forgotten to budget in problem-free relaxation time. But it is possible. It takes making a commitment to yourself and your family.
What happens in a Family Time workshop?
We all go to our separate workshops, fathers, mothers, children each going their own way. This is a workshop for the entire family, building a closer family unit.
In the Family workshop, the family unit establishes, repairs, refreshes/rejuvenates, takes communication up to another level. The goal is for your family to feel strong, so that the family unit is a home base, a safe place for the family to come home to where they can feel supported, cared for, protected, understood, and respected.
In the workshop, in the beginning, we get comfortable, eat, talk casually, to warm everyone up to the environment and get to know the coach, Frances Claudia Aquino. Then the coach initiates some games to stimulate articulation of thoughts and feelings. Before we begin to talk, the coach establishes the rules of the games, which includes no name calling, no cursing at each other, stop when asked to stop.
Success is achieved in a Family Time Workshop when the family is fully committed, willing to show up, and be present in the moment.
The workshop is private and confidential. The coach is committed to total confidentiality and privacy.
The coach takes responsibility to keep the workshop comfortable, enjoyable and focused on the present and the future, not the past. The goal of the workshop is to create an experience of problem-free relaxation time.
The primary focus of life coaching is on the present and future, not on the past.
How do people afford the Family Time Workshop?
Have you managed to take your family to entertainment where tickets are over $50 and dinner is over $50 per person? Have you managed to afford having the latest, greatest iphone, ipod, wide-screen TV? Can you afford gourmet kitchen equipment? Designer clothing? Then you can afford Family Time. It takes a one time commitment to yourself and your family.
How does one prepare for a Family Time workshop?
It takes a commitment of one morning, afternoon or evening. It means taking a personal day, a mental health day or a family time day. It means having your children get their homework done ahead of time. It means giving up the next appointment, job, meeting. It means not going to a lesson, a PTA meeting or watching TV for a couple of hours.
I have coached thousands of families. No one ever leaves without a new experience of their family and/or themselves in one workshop at the cottage.
No technology. You may bring healthy food, come in comfortable clothing. This is a caffeine, drug, alcohol, and nicotine free zone.
In one workshop at the cottage on the river you will experience something unexpected, something you have never experienced before. I facilitate the experience, but you create it.
If you are a family or a couple who has regular family chats in a harmonious peaceful way where each member feels understood, supported, respected and content, this service is not for you.

Concept for the Family Time
Workshop:
I
would like to introduce a new member of my
practice. His name is Dr. Gozo, as in the
Island off of Malta. He will be my assistant
coach for Family Time visitors. He was
adopted on Jan. 24, 2008, from a Rescue Society
for small dogs. Dr. Gozo was part of a
family with a mother and father and two
children.
The family was in crisis and not able to function as a family. No one was chipping in to help one another with family responsibilities. The mother and father could see that Dr. Gozo was unhappy and that they could no longer care for him. So, being good people they contacted the rescue society and shared their story. They realized that another familly that was a well functioning and happy family could love and care for Dr. Gozo in away that his family could not.
Dr. Gozo is a sweet and gentle Maltese who loves to look straight into your eyes. He is reassuring by his kind eye to eye contact. He has a soothing affect on everyone he meets. He understands about communication.That's why we call him Dr. Gozo. He "kisses and makes it better." Dr. Gozo is a certified Therapy Dog.
His hair is hypoallergenic.
