What is Parent Coaching?

Parents, does any of this sound familiar to you?

- Mornings are mayhem.

- Brushing teeth is a losing battle.

-My son/daughter forgets her books, lunch, homework for school every day.   

-Homework is always a battle.

-How can I manage the constant meltdowns?

-I can't get him/her to help with household chores.

-My daughter/son feels I’m critical of everything she/he does.

-Why can’t he/she just listen to me?

-My child was just diagnosed with ADHD – what do I do now?

-I am seeing so many challenges - should I have my child evaluated for ADHD?

-I have tried so many different ideas and they are just not working.

-No one told me this was going to be so hard.

You are not alone!

Parent coaching blends training and coaching to help you develop personalized strategies that truly work for your family. As a parent, you hold the vision for your child to grow into an independent, confident individual who believes in themselves. Coaching offers clarity you can apply immediately — empowering you to create meaningful change and rediscover the joy of family life.

Parent training is the evidence-based, recommended approach for supporting children with ADHD. Through a compassionate, strength-based lens, coaching guides parents in developing a structured, step-by-step action plan with practical tools to bring more calm and connection into the home.

The coaching process includes understanding the social, emotional, and behavioral impact of ADHD and Executive Function challenges – at home, activities and school. Coaching provides practical tools to parents help their children build Executive Function skills, promoting greater independence, resilience, and self-regulation. It can also bridge the gap between home and school, helping parents better understand what is happening in the classroom so they can collaborate effectively with teachers and advocate for their child’s needs in a proactive, solution-oriented way.

Taking a Coach-Like Approach with Your Kids Can Help You:

·       Communicate more effectively and reduce conflict.

·       Provide both support and structure.

·       Recognize their unique strengths and what motivates them.

·       Encourage personal responsibility and independence.

·       Teach them how to ask for help when they need it.

·       Build better problem-solving skills and adaptability.

·       Shift from judgment to greater understanding.

·       Improve how your family manages time, plans, and stays organized.

Using a coaching mindset in parenting—especially when managing ADHD—equips you with practical tools to bring calm to the chaos. It empowers you to truly connect with your child and positively impact their development. With focused support and real-life strategies, you can rediscover the joy and fulfillment of parenting.
