One of the most important things we do as parents is set the tone for a happy, harmonious home. Often, as a parent coach, that is where I start when I am working with a client. Parents might come to me, say, to learn how to deal with their 6-year-old’s violent outbursts. Rather than starting with my focus on the child, I first lay the groundwork for creating a more loving home.
Love is the glue that holds us all together, and when it is palpably present, everything in the house feels easier.

As I talk with parents and hear about them as individuals (their values, their priorities, their parenting style) and as I hear about their kids (their strengths, their challenges, their unique personalities), it is like getting all the puzzle pieces on the table.

So many of the parents who seek me out are like Sharon and Curtis, parents to four-year-old and six-year-old boys. Curtis first reached out to me because Sharon had given him an ultimatum: Get some parenting help or we’re done. When Curtis explained to me what was up, my heart sank. As an experienced parenting coach, I know that usually by the time one spouse has given another spouse a clear signal that things better change and change fast, it is very hard for couples to realign themselves. Though Curtis had intended to hire me just for himself, I insisted that I speak to Sharon before I said yes.

We also were more likely to have grown up babysitting, lifeguarding or scooping ice cream, giving us micro experiences with kids of different ages.
