Parenting is a skill. It used to be modeled and taught by family members and neighbors when we lived in close-knit communities. People were constantly around kids and expected to take care of kids from the time they were kids themselves. Today I work with many clients who never held an infant until they held their own baby. Then new parents go back to work where colleagues don't stand around comparing parenting notes. That's where Parenting Coaching comes in. Since parenting is not something we know how to do innately, today, good parents turn to professionals for support. Yes, there is a ton of information online, but often that information is contradictory or doesn't seem to apply to your own child. Working one-on-one or in a group setting with a parenting coach provides the perfect combination of professional advice and an intimate connection so the advice can be tailored to what your family needs. Do you want to become a more effective parent? Stop nagging, yelling and arguing with your kids? Re-energize your commitment to your spouse and your children? Defuse power struggles and get cooperation?That's the promise of using a Elisabeth Stitt as your coach: With one phone call a week, you can TRANSFORM your parenting. Release the stress that builds up weekly so that you can apply strategies to become more effective and then focus on your long term vision, becoming your best parenting self.

Parenting is a skill. Just like learning a foreign language, it can be taught, learned and practiced! That's where Parenting as a Second Language, A Guidebook for Joyfully Navigating the Trials, Triumphs and Tribulations of Parenthood comes in.

Elisabeth is also a lively and engaging speaker who breaks down parenting into can-do steps that parents can go home and put into practice.

North Star Academy, Redwood City

In 20 years of teaching in the Redwood City School District, I served students in grades K-8. Although primarily a Language Arts teacher at the middle school level at North Star Academy, the work I valued most was developing Character Education classes and services and working with students and families as North Star's Outreach Teacher. Children are not ready to learn until they feel safe, secure and happy. It is the first job of any adult working with children to establish a warm, caring connection. That was my main goal as a teacher, as an outreach specialist, and as a caring adult on campus.
