Parent Coaching Frequently Asked Questions

Is parent coaching just for parents with young children?

Not at all. Coaching is helpful for parents of children at any age, from toddlers to teens to young adults.

Can both parents attend sessions?

Yes. Sessions can include one or both caregivers depending on your preferences and needs.

How is coaching different from parenting classes?

While classes teach general skills, coaching is individualized to your unique family dynamics and personal parenting goals.

What if I’m feeling burned out or overwhelmed?

Parent coaching supports you as a person, not just a parent. It’s a space to talk about your stress, needs, and how to care for yourself while showing up for your family.
