Parent coaching will help you identify where you are now in your parenting journey, where you want to be, and what you need to do to get there.
“I just don’t know what to do!”
I hear this from parents all the time. Sometimes they’ve simply run out of ideas. They feel like they’ve tried everything, multiple times, and still aren’t getting the cooperation they expect from their kids. Or sometimes kids enter new age-appropriate phases, and parents really don’t know what to expect.
One-on-one coaching gives you an opportunity to explore what’s happening and provides customized information about what your child’s behavior means. You’ll get fresh ideas for more effective approaches and ongoing accountability and support to ensure real change happens.
What does parent coaching with me look like?
It’s a process of examining your parenting goals and what you need to do to achieve them. Through questioning and sharing concepts and techniques from positive parenting, you will learn, practice, and try new ways of interacting with your children.
I am your partner in unraveling what is behind the behavior and patterns that are frustrating your family and applying different perspectives and approaches to shift the behavior from unproductive to productive so your children can contribute in valuable ways.
Your family will go from chaotic to cooperative.
Just imagine…
Kids showing up for breakfast dressed and ready to go for the day.
Having enjoyable conversations at the dinner table.
Homework being done without reminders.
An empty kitchen trash can because your teen remembered to take it out on time.
Meltdowns happening less frequently and for shorter times, or not at all.
Dining peacefully in a restaurant with your whole family.
Kids’ devices being charged with their own chargers, in the same spot, daily.
Feeling like you’ve got this parenting thing down!
Do these fit for you?
Your time is limited and you want answers to your specific questions — customized to your family.
You need perspective on what’s working in your parenting and a plan for what’s not.
You want encouragement, reassurance, and new ideas to add to your parenting bag of tools.
You have one area that you really want to focus on — you’ve looked at it every which way and can’t see how to move on with it.
You’re looking for a long-term shift in your parenting style.
You know you will only be comfortable sharing private information with a coach one-on-one.

Coaching Calls
We’ll start each call with progress, accomplishments, and how you’ve applied your strengths.

You’ll leave with action items on what to practice before the next call.
“In the past, I was struggling with sibling rivalry, noncompliance, and general discord in the home. With Lisa's expert guidance and presentation of material, I have learned a more effective way of relating to my children. I no longer depend on rewards or punishment and have found improvements in all my problem areas. I am confident that with time I will refine my new skills and will be even more effective at interacting with my kids.”
— Kaan, Father of 2
