We want to make sure you’re clear that parent coaching doesn’t just “fix your kids’ behavior.” In fact, it’s often the caregiver who needs the right tools to meet the child wherever they are developmentally. The services we offer are parent-centric, to help you develop the skills you need to be peaceful, patient, and present with the children in your life.
What Is Parent Coaching? | Benefits of Online Parent Coaching
Parent coaching offers personalized, solution-focused guidance tailored to your family’s needs in a small group setting. It’s not therapy—it’s practical, forward-looking support designed to help you apply effective strategies right away.

Moore, walks alongside you every step of the way in these online parent coaching sessions, providing actionable insights and compassionate encouragement.
Why Choose Gentle, Respectful Parenting?
While some misunderstand gentle parenting as permissive, it’s actually about leading with empathy and setting clear, loving boundaries. Our coaching approach combines gentle parenting and positive parenting techniques to foster cooperation, resilience, and trust.

What Parents and Professionals Are Saying
⭐️ “I had the privilege of being coached by Sarah, and I cannot express how much my personal and professional life was impacted by her wisdom, guidance, and expert coaching. Her compassionate and empowering coaching techniques allowed me to tap into my own inherent wisdom, helping me to feel safe, supported, and seen. Not only did I walk away from my coaching engagement with Sarah with practical parenting strategies and tools to use in my daily life, but I also concluded my experience with so much more self-compassion, something Sarah helps all parents cultivate. Sarah is truly a master at what she does and I absolutely recommend working with her if you’re looking for support, guidance, and encouragement on your conscious parenting journey.” – Shelly Robinson, founder of Raising Yourself
⭐️ “Working with Sarah is the best investment I’ve ever made for me, for my family, and for my approach to life. Her kindness and authenticity will change your life for the better, too.” – Katherine T.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between parent coaching and therapy?
Parent coaching focuses on practical, actionable strategies to help you navigate parenting challenges. Therapy addresses deeper psychological issues or trauma.
Why have the American SPCC and Sarah R. Moore chosen to partner together?
Both the American SPCC and Sarah R. Moore are committed to making the world a safer and more loving place for children. We are committed to changing the world for the better, starting with the way children experience safety and well-being at home–with the understanding that they’ll “pay forward” to the world what they’ve experienced firsthand.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes! This parenting support program is 100% virtual, accessible worldwide. Our online parent coaching sessions give you flexible access from anywhere. Sarah has trained parents, caregivers, and professionals on six continents.
Will my child's behavioral challenges improve?
Although we can’t speak to or guarantee individual outcomes, we do know from our experience that in many cases, once children feel their caregivers’ emotional attunement and skillset increasing, better behavior is often a natural byproduct of that. Many parenting challenges often melt away.
Rather than a focus on behaviorism (only changing our kids’ behavior), we focus on ourselves, as well–the adults–with a whole family perspective. We know that the only behavior we can control is our own, so we empower you to optimize your own ability to be a good parent that’s responsive, compassionate, and who has developmentally appropriate expectations of your child.
Parent coaching extends beyond addressing challenging child behavior; it also involves fostering positive ones. Through parent coaching sessions, parents learn evidence-based strategies and practical tools to encourage positive behaviors in their children.
What parenting approach do you teach?
We use evidence-based approaches to help you not only understand your child’s behavior, but also to support your entire family to be more peaceful with one another. In class, parent coaching includes how to apply a strengths-based approach alongside individualized strategies to address challenging behaviors and improve your relationship as a whole family.
Are you trauma informed?
As parent coaches, we are trauma aware and work to take a sensitive approach to whatever our clients have experienced. Although we are not a trauma recovery program, several of our experts address these topics we cover from a trauma informed perspective.
Can I continue coaching after 12 weeks?
Yes—many participants choose to continue with follow-up 1:1 sessions or take the 12-week session again for reinforcement of what they’ve learned.
Does this program qualify me to become a parent coach?
This accredited program fulfills the prerequisite to continue training toward certification as a professional parent coach with Dandelion Seeds Positive Parenting. If you’re interested in becoming a certified parent coach, this is the first step in your journey.
