What does a Parenting Coach do?
An early childhood specialist and parenting coach can play a crucial role in addressing behavioural problems in children. By leveraging their expertise in child development and family dynamics, they can provide tailored guidance and support to parents or carers. Through methods like the Positive Parenting approach and personalised strategies such as the P2P (Parent 2 Parent) model, they can equip parents with effective skills and techniques to strengthen the parent-child relationship. This collaborative effort not only fosters a deeper bond and attachment between the two, but also cultivates a nurturing environment that promotes positive behaviour and emotional well-being in the child.
Some possible benefits of the positive parenting approach are:
- Reducing negative behaviours in children such as aggression, defiance, tantrums, etc.
- Increasing positive behaviours in children, such as cooperation, compliance, communication, etc.
- Enhancing the parent-child bond and attachment
- Improving the parent’s confidence and parenting skills
- Decreasing the parent’s stress and frustration

Parenting Coaching with Christina
About Me
As an Early Years Specialist with extensive experience in child development and psychology, I offer practical solutions and support for parenting challenges, particularly in sleep, behaviour, mealtime struggles, and potty training, aiming to empower parents to become confident in nurturing their children through critical developmental stages.
Education
With a bachelor’s degree in childhood and youth studies and a master’s in applied developmental psychology, I have a deep understanding of child development, including cognitive, social, emotional, and physical aspects. I have studied family dynamics, cultural context, and environmental factors on children’s growth and well-being. My interest in attachment theory emphasizes the importance of early relationships and secure attachments for emotional and social development. I develop strategies to help children understand and manage their emotions, working with families to support their growth and reach their full potential.
Core Values
- Empathy: As a parenting coach, I can empathise with you and understand your specific position and challenges by employing compassion, empathy, and respect.
- Personalization: Because each family has distinct needs, I will adapt my coaching to match those needs rather than providing a one-size-fits-all approach.
- Respect: Parents and families come from a variety of backgrounds, each with their own parenting style and lifestyle. I can recognise and value these differences, maintain their values, and avoid imposing my own.
- Trust: It is critical that we build a trusting and confidential relationship. You should feel at ease discussing your problems without fear of being judged.
- Commitment: I will be committed to your parenting success and will take responsibility for assisting you in reaching your objectives.
Aims and Services
I’m passionate about helping parents navigate raising their children, using my education and research background to offer unwavering support. I aim to guide parents through challenges like sleepless nights, frustrations, and conditions like ADHD or Autism. They use evidence-based strategies and personalized schedules to empower parents and create a nurturing environment for both parents and children.
A free consultation is available to discuss your unique situation and address any concerns or questions.
