How Coaching Supports Parents
Parent coaching is highly individualized to meet you and your family where you are and provides customized solutions to meet your identified needs and goals. As such, my work with parents begins at different starting points:
1) Establishing a Foundation
For parents who want to establish the foundation for a connected and collaborative relationship with their child, create a harmonious family dynamic and find their voice and style as parents.
You know you love your child so much, you want to do everything you can to understand and nurture their needs as you lean into parenthood.
I help you build confidence in your ability to navigate common parenting challenges, learn the science of child development, parent development and the parent-child relationship, sharpen communication skills to ensure you and your partner are aligned, build emotional regulation skills, and sort through broader cultural and family influences from your childhood that may be getting in the way of the parenting journey you want.
2) Leveling up Your Parenting
For parents who want to be prepared for the next phase of their child’s development and ensure they are adapting to their family’s evolving needs.
You know your child is growing and you know they need you in a different way. You want to know how to stay connected and supportive as new behaviors, new priorities and new emotions emerge.
I’m here to help you study and understand the psychological, social, emotional and relational tasks of each stage of child development, build tools and communication to handle child behaviors in developmentally meaningful ways, sharpen emotional regulation skills for the whole family, establish practices and routines that will keep you and your child tethered as they become increasingly independent and hold confidence your relationship will continue to grow as your child ages.
3) Hitting a wall
For parents who are feeling ineffective, exhausted and uncertain and want to find their way as a calm, sturdy leader.
There’s yelling, tantrums, talkback and defiance. You try your best to do different everyday, but the patterns repeat. And it doesn’t feel good for anybody.
Whether it’s behavioral challenges, emotional regulation issues or just bad habits, I’ll help you build tools to manage big feelings and conflict effectively, foster open and respectful communication and develop positive discipline strategies that promote cooperation and connection. I’ll help you feel confident you’re in charge so you can help your child learn to cope with their emotions and build self-esteem and resilience.
How It Works
Phase 1: Building the Foundation
Here we will lay the groundwork for change by clarifying your goals and creating a deeper understanding of what is currently happening in your family. By understanding both what is living in you and your child, you will have a clearer picture of what’s getting in the way and what changes need to be made.
Here we will also introduce the Growth Mindset and emotional regulation skills as the foundation to nourish you in the change process.
Phase 2: Implementing changes to support outcomes and eliminating barriers
Here we will elevate your family’s social and emotional skills by applying your new mindset, insight and knowledge. You will begin to practice new behaviors and processes for working through your challenges or towards your goals, and continue to gain insight and clarity through experiential learning.
We will continue to expose the deeper influences that may be getting in the way of your goals, and integrate the needed tools to overcome them.
Phase 3: Fortifying change and ensuring sustained success
As you and your family start to find a smoother rhythm, deeper connection and renewed confidence, we will focus on sustaining positive changes and building habits to ensure you carry forward all that you’ve achieved.
We’ll make sure you’re empowered to maintain your results, and know how to adapt all that you’ve learned as your family continues to evolve and grow.
Parent Coaching is designed to create significant and lasting change. As such, coaching requires a minimum 14 week commitment, paid in full at the beginning of the program.
Parent Coaching does not assess, diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Working with Allison as a Parent Coach is not a replacement for mental health treatment.
How I Support Parents at Every Stage of Parenthood:
Pregnancy & Preparing for Baby
Pregnancy brings a mix of joy, anticipation, and uncertainty. Many parents-to-be wonder if they’re ready, how their relationship will change, or what kind of parent they’ll become. Coaching during this stage can give you space to prepare not just logistically, but emotionally. Together, we work on:
Managing emotions and worries — from fears about birth and parenting to pressure from outside expectations
Identity shifts — exploring who you are becoming as you move into parenthood and how to hold onto important parts of yourself
Partnership and communication — preparing for changes in your relationship dynamic and learning how to navigate them as a team
Clarifying your values — creating a vision of the kind of parent you want to be, so you feel grounded when challenges arise
Building confidence — learning to trust your instincts and set boundaries around outside advice or pressure
Postpartum & Infancy (0–12 months)
The first year can feel like stepping into a brand-new world—filled with love and awe, but also exhaustion, constant change, and self-doubt. Many parents struggle with feeling overwhelmed or unsure if they’re “doing it right.” I support parents in:
Finding balance between baby’s constant needs, your own well-being, and your relationship
Processing postpartum emotions such as mood swings, anxiety, or the loneliness that can accompany new parenthood
Understanding your baby’s development — learning what’s typical, what your baby needs, and how to respond in ways that build secure attachment
Sleep, feeding, and daily rhythms — navigating the trial-and-error of routines and adjusting expectations along the way
Redefining parenthood — letting go of the “perfect parent” ideal and embracing realistic, compassionate expectations
Early Childhood (1–5 years)
Toddlers and preschoolers are curious, strong-willed, and full of big emotions. This stage can feel like a whirlwind of tantrums, testing limits, and endless questions. Parents often wonder how to guide their child without constant battles. Coaching here focuses on:
Tantrums and emotional outbursts — understanding what’s behind the behavior and how to respond calmly and effectively
Boundaries with love — setting limits in ways that feel firm, consistent, and connected rather than harsh or reactive
Daily structure — building predictable routines around meals, sleep, and transitions to reduce power struggles
Supporting learning and growth — encouraging language, play, curiosity, and social skills in ways that feel natural
Sibling transitions — helping kids adjust when a new baby arrives or when sibling rivalry causes stress
Discipline tools — moving away from punishment toward teaching and guiding behavior
School Age (6–12 years)
The elementary years are a time of big growth—kids are forming friendships, building confidence, and starting to compare themselves to others. Parents often face new worries around academics, peer influence, and the balance between independence and structure. I help parents with:
School transitions and homework — supporting children through academic challenges, motivation struggles, and new environments
Friendships and social dynamics — navigating conflict, exclusion, bullying, and the ups and downs of peer relationships
Growing independence — encouraging responsibility through chores, routines, and problem-solving skills
Screen time and technology — creating healthy family guidelines around devices, gaming, and social media
Emotional resilience — helping kids bounce back from mistakes, disappointments, and frustration
Balancing connection with discipline — teaching cooperation and accountability without constant nagging or power struggles
Adolescence & Teens (13–18 years)
Parenting teens can feel like a dance between closeness and distance—your child wants independence but still needs your guidance. This stage often brings worry about safety, choices, and the future. I support parents in:
Keeping communication open — learning how to talk so your teen will listen, and listen so they’ll talk
Identity and independence — supporting your teen as they figure out who they are while respecting their need for privacy and autonomy
Boundaries and limits — setting expectations around curfews, driving, dating, and technology in ways that encourage responsibility
Peer influence and risk-taking — navigating friendships, social pressures, and decision-making
Emotional well-being — recognizing and responding to mood changes, stress, and signs of anxiety or depression
Family dynamics — adjusting roles as your teen takes on more independence, while keeping the relationship strong and connected
