coaches & mentors

Sometimes, as a parent, you need more than general tips and tricks. Below you will find a collection of Greenville County parenting coaches and mentors. These professionals come from a variety of backgrounds and can help guide you and your family through various behavioral issues. 

​

Our parenting COACHES work side by side with parents and caregivers of children birth to age 12 on mild to moderate behavioral issues. Some examples of support they provide are coping with stress, infant sleep patterns, toddler tantrums, preschooler interrupting, and elementary school chores. Some coaches work one-on-one, and some coaches provide group facilitation. For a complete list of topics, click here.

​

Our parenting MENTORS are here for you when your child's behavior problems are more serious. Provided both one-on-one and in a group setting, these services are best for motivated parents interested in gaining a more in-depth understanding of positive parenting. Parents will deep dive into positive parenting, create a parenting plan, and practice new skills. 

COACHES

Reach out to a parenting coach if you need help with mild to moderate behavioral issues. Some coaches work with parents/caregivers virtually and some work in-person.
