The Ultimate Guide to Parent Coaching

Parent Coaches work in partnership with families to create the lives, relationships, and experiences they aspire to have with their children. This work is filled with purpose and offers incredible flexibility. Whether you choose to build your own one-on-one or group coaching business or integrate these tools and skills into your current role as an educator, therapist, or family support professional, the opportunities are endless.

At the Jai Institute for Parenting, we envision a world where:

• Parents are confident and empowered to raise their children in alignment with their values.
• Children are loved, respected, and supported to become their whole selves.

It’s designed to break generational cycles of emotional wounding and trauma, empowering families to develop practical skills and create a peaceful, effective framework for modern parenting.
