Educating and
Raising the Resilient Child
Services
Consulting and Coaching Services for Educators and Parents
Thw coaching and consultation services provide individualized educator and parent coaching and consultation with a blend of three trusted, research-supported frameworks: Systematic Training for Effective Parenting/Teaching (STEP/STET), the Logical and Loving Parenting Program, and the Positive Parenting Program, giving educators and parents effective tools they can use immediately.
Through coaching and consulting sessions, educators and parents learn how to raise and educate the resilient child by focusing on how individuals respond when situations do not go as planned. Resiliency is developed through working through discomfort, challenges, and failures, regulating emotions, problem-solving, and persisting despite setbacks. This work follows a resiliency cycle of challenge, coaching support, reflection, growth, and confidence, with confidence built through daily practice, small successes, and learning from failure. Emphasis is placed on responsible parenting, supportive empathy, natural and logical consequences, intrinsic motivation, and practical strategies that encourage productive struggle and build autonomy, coping, and self-care skills.

Through presentations and workshops, educators and parents learn how to raise a resilient child. Resiliency focuses on how an individual responds when things do not go as planned, works through discomfort, challenges, and failures, regulates emotions, problem-solves, and persists despite setbacks. Sessions introduce a resiliency loop that includes challenge, support through parenting, reflection, growth, and confidence. Confidence is practiced daily, strengthened through challenges and comfort with discomfort, built in trying rather than knowing, grown through small successes, and reinforced by understanding that failure is necessary for success.

Presentations emphasize the distinction between good parenting and responsible parenting, including overparenting in the real world and underparenting in the virtual world, as well as the perspective and lens related to parent needs versus child needs. Additionally, they discuss planning and preparing while holding no expectations. Strategies such as two-minute listening, supportive empathy versus detrimental empathy, self-regulation for co-regulation, natural and logical consequences, and awareness of protective parenting pitfalls related to praise, pleasure, and problem solving are explored, with a focus on encouraging process rather than product.
Workshops also address intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation, comfort with discomfort, and productive struggle, while sharing Raising the Resilient Child strategies such as appropriate responsibilities, choice for autonomy, encouraging challenges and welcoming mistakes and failures, extracurricular and whole-child development through multiple intelligences, and the importance of coping and self-care skills, resiliency strategies, and confidence building.
