What Is Parent Coaching?
Parent coaching is a collaborative process between you (the parent or caregiver) and a coach who brings expertise in child development, family dynamics, and practical, peaceful parenting strategies. 60-minute virtual sessions are scheduled and conducted online.
Together, we will:
-
Identify what’s underneath your child’s behavior—so you can respond with empathy, not frustration
-
Build on your natural strengths as a parent and increase your positive mindset and self-talk
-
Create small, meaningful changes that make daily life calmer and more connected
-
Develop tools that work for your unique family—not a one-size-fits-all approach
Coaching sessions are available online and are designed around your goals and schedule. Some families find meaningful change in just a few sessions; others prefer longer-term support.
