What It’s About

The Parent Coaching Membership Class is designed for parents who want steady, compassionate guidance as they navigate the ups and downs of raising children. In this ongoing class, we explore the everyday challenges that come with parenting—from setting clear and respectful boundaries to helping kids manage big emotions and transitions.

Each session dives into specific topics that are relevant to families with children between the ages of 2 and 10. You’ll learn how to create daily routines that actually work, respond to meltdowns without escalating conflict, and use positive reinforcement in a way that feels natural and aligned with your values. We’ll also cover topics like screen time struggles, sibling rivalry, follow-through, and helping your child develop emotional regulation skills.

What makes this class especially helpful is its ongoing nature—because change takes time, and support along the way makes all the difference. Parents will have opportunities to learn how to apply strategies over time, adjust as needed, and revisit topics as new situations arise.

The class is inclusive of all parenting journeys, including families raising neurodiverse children or navigating unique developmental needs. Strategies are grounded in research but always personalized, practical, and relationship-focused.

If you’re looking for a supportive place to learn, ask questions, and grow at your own pace, this class offers guidance that evolves with your family.

I recently attended one of Aligned Parenting Services free parenting seminars. The topic was understanding your child's love language. Jen's delivery and approach was really easy to understand and she gave us ideas and tools we could implement at home. It was definitely time well-spent. After the seminar, I better understood my child's love language (which is different from my own!) and started implementing more mommy and me time after school. I immediately noticed a difference in his behavior and listening skills through the afternoons and evenings, just from this tweak in our day and the ideas I got from Jen's seminar. I highly recommend Aligned Parenting Services if you're seeking ongoing behavioral support for you and your child or if you're looking for one-off ideas to make small changes in your home.

Jen is so thorough in her suggestions and gives the psychological explanations to go along with the instructions. She has such simple techniques that every parent can accomplish easily. The flow of the webinar was exceptional. Her examples are realistic and probably ones every parent experiences. I am excited to buy a timer to start using this tool to improve my day. Thank you Jen for a great class!

I attended a free Potty Training class provided by Jennifer. The class was fun and useful. She provides us a step-by-step guide about how to do the Potty Training. She then sent on the documents that she mentioned in her class to us in the following week. I definitely feel more confident about Potty Training now.
