Parent coaching at-a-glance

Parent coaches work closely with caregivers to educate and support families in improving problematic behavior and challenges in their day-to-day lives.

We help parents understand the connection between emotional development and all behavior by promoting independence, cooperation and deepening a child’s relationships with parents, siblings, teachers, and peers.

💡 We can help you solve:

  • Tough behaviors and aggression

  • Potty training issues

  • Tantrums and big feelings

  • Daily struggles (dinner, going to school etc.)

  • Sibling rivalry and conflict

  • Disrespectful communication (“talking back”)

  • Ineffective boundaries and lack of rules

  • Having parenting guilt or rage

  • Addiction (screens, video games, vaping etc.)

  • Parenting conflict and resentment

  • and more…

What parents are saying about our coaches

“We couldn’t be more proud of our child and are so happy we had our parent coach’s support. We learned to nurture our child's independence while providing safe and healthy boundaries."

— Manatee parent

“My child is super proud of himself and I am still shocked at how easy a transition it was for him - and honestly I start my day feeling a lot less resentful or overwhelmed too! All thumbs up and hearts in the morning over here!”

— Manatee parent

“Our parent coach gave us great tips and goals to work toward specifically with our 4-year old son. He was working through anxiety around trying new things/new experiences and school. He’s now a thriving 5-year old going to all day young 5’s at our local elementary school.”

— Manatee parent
