Online parent coaching
Parent coaching for a calmer, more connected home
I’m Jodi Brandes Slein, a certified parent coach and adoptive mother. Through attachment-based, trauma-informed parent coaching, I help parents of kids and teens — including adoptive and foster families — understand what’s happening beneath their child’s behavior, so the power struggles fade and calm returns to your home.
What coaching can help with
- Constant fighting and power struggles
- Big emotions that feel hard to manage — your child’s and your own
- Discipline that doesn’t work for a child who has experienced trauma
- Old patterns that come up for you as a parent
How I work
Traditional discipline doesn’t always meet the needs of a child who has experienced trauma. My coaching looks beneath the behavior to the need behind it. Together we explore your family’s patterns, make room for your own healing, and practice connection before correction.
Pause
Stop the spiral before it becomes a reaction.
Acknowledge
Name what you and your child are each feeling, without judgment.
Regulate
Calm your own nervous system first.
Connect
Once you are steady, reach your child and guide them back to calm.
These four steps make up PARC, the system in my book From Reactive to Responsive: The PARC Parenting System. Read: how to stop yelling at your kids.
