Parent Coaching & Consultation

mindful, intentional parenting today

specializing in parents of gifted & strong-willed children

You’ve heard of a sports coach or a business coach. In fact, the best athletes and most successful executives in the world have coaches.  A coach helps their client to reach their highest potential; to realize their goals and create a plan to attain them.

What about someone to support and encourage you with the most important, demanding and sacred job you’ll ever have… through parent coaching?

Even the best parents fall short of the visions they have of themselves as an ideal parent. Do not underestimate the significant influence you have in shaping your children and thus determining the future of humanity. It is almost daunting, but with the right tools, knowledge, attitude and awareness, you CAN and WILL be empowered to intentionally achieve your ideal vision. 9 out of 10 parents are unaware of how their daily comments and actions deeply affect their children’s thoughts, beliefs and behavior, even the simplest interactions can sustain a profound difference. Whether your child has special needs, is strong-willed or seems to have behavioral problems and can be difficult to discipline, you were meant to be his/her parent and you CAN change the family dynamics and unhealthy patterns. Don’t waste precious years just muddling through, do something about it TODAY!

You may be a new parent with a baby and a loss of identity or a parent who is shocked by how much you can scream and shout at someone you love so, so much. Sometimes you may even feel as though you hate your child or want to surrender just to get a little peace! Guess what! You are not alone! Yet most parents are reluctant to admit some of their deepest thoughts, fears and anxieties. I can assure you, there are better ways. Your acknowledgment that there is room for improvement in your parenting shows that you are already a good parent and no doubt love your child(ren) with all of your heart… so what can Evie Estes, PCI Certified Parent Coach® of Parent 4R Future Parent Coaching do for you and your family?

If any of these statements or feelings resonate with you today, you’ve come to the right place:

“I feel as though I am just getting through the day.” Live in the present moment, be deliberate and laugh more.
“I’m lucky if I get a shower in most days.” Take care of yourself, so you can take care of your family.
“I’m just reacting and putting out fires.” Be more prepared, anticipatory, proactive and respond thoughtfully.
“I am impatient, drained and constantly yelling.” Access your patience, energy and calm.
“Calgon Take Me Away!” is your daily (hourly?) mantra. Appreciate your current circumstances and grow the positives.
“My kids never listen to me and rarely comply!” Make cooperation more inviting and take back your role as a calm authority in your household!
“I feel as though the media and screens are overtaking our lives.” Become a screen savvy, media literate family who consciously makes technological choices.
“My spouse’s and my parenting are polar opposites.” Understand your individual strengths and weaknesses and work together for a unified front.
“Why do I feel like a failure as a parent so often?” Make daily decisions that align with your values and take back your integrity.
“Okay, why did we decide to have more than one child? This fighting is relentless!” Honor and fulfill the needs of your children as the unique individuals that they are, and promote sibling accord.
“Parenting is so much harder today than when I was a kid!” Your positive, intentional influence can counteract cultural and social pressures prevalent today.
“I can’t wait until naptime, bedtime, school… heck college, so I can get a break!” Refuel your tank, while meeting their developmental needs, so you can more fully appreciate and savor each stage in your child’s life.

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”
~Gandhi


“It’s not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can’t tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself.”
~Joyce Maynard



“You did what you knew how to do, and when you knew better, you did better.”
~Maya Angelou, American poet
