What we do

There are many coaches who work with teens at risk, and their families. Sariva Sklar created Small Wonders Coaching because she saw that the need was great for parents of young children to have a non-judgemental, warm and nurturing place to go to work out issues in their relationships with their spouses, children and families. In this way, we may change the future of these children, and make the term, “Teens at risk” obsolete.

At Small Wonders Coaching, Sariva coaches parents to strive for their own personal best. Using the Parent as Coach Approach to parenting, a system devised by Diana Sterling, as well as other methods, such as mentoring, skills training and consulting, Sariva is eager to help parents reach wonderful outcomes in their own lives and on behalf of their children. Sariva will help you set your goals, stay on track and self- manage. With a quest for discovery and a zest for life, Sariva has helped hundreds of parents get where they want to go!

Services available at Small Wonders Coaching include:

Telecoaching is a form of coaching in which Sariva will coach you privately over the phone. This service is great for parents on the go, and for those who prefer to be coached in the comfort of their own home. Many clients love this option since it eliminates the need for babysitters, or to leave the house again after a long day at work.

Teleclasses are available for clients who prefer to hear coaching tips and get parenting support over the phone. Sariva Sklar will be giving a seven part coaching teleclass soon. Each class will be approximately one hour long, in which you will get great coaching tips, and hear thought-provoking anecdotes and questions. While Sariva gives her teleclass, clients will keep their phones on “Mute”. Clients may email questions to Sariva after the teleclass. She will answer many of these questions during the next week’s teleclass. If more time is needed, the clients may choose to have a short, private telecoaching session that week.

Some clients prefer to meet in person. Private coaching is available by appointment only, at our office in Northern New Jersey. We are located just minutes away from New York City.

Some will prefer a casual setting, such as the local Starbuck’s, or Barnes and Noble Bookstore. Others prefer to have their coaching session while walking in the park. Whatever your preference, Sariva will work with you to create the most comfortable coaching environment for you.
