Parent Coaching with Ann Kaplan
You didn’t become a parent because it looked easy.
You became a parent because you wanted love, connection, and a sense of meaning in your family — not chaos, power struggles, or constant frustration.
But right now?
You might feel like you’re parenting on a tightrope:
- Nagging your kids and still not being heard
- Losing your cool and immediately hating yourself for it
- Feeling alone even when you’re giving everything you’ve got
- Wondering why nothing seems to stick — no matter how hard you try
If parenting feels like a pressure cooker where you’re the one doing all the holding — that makes total sense. It’s not just that the behavior is hard. It’s that the old ways of managing behavior don’t address what’s underneath: connection, identity, nervous system regulation, leadership, and emotional patterns.
Yes, book me in!
This Is Not About Tricks.
It’s about you, the parent, the leader, the human person behind the frustration.
I help parents:
- Understand why the same struggles keep happening and how to interrupt them
- End power struggles and yelling without losing authority
- Build connection that actually shapes behavior
- Parent from steadiness instead of reactivity
- Embody the kind of parent you want to be (not just do the techniques)
This is coaching that meets your family where you are — not a one-size-fits-all parenting formula.
Who This Is For
You’re in the right place if you:
âś” Want less yelling, nagging, and repeating yourself
✔ Love your kids deeply — but don’t love how you’re parenting right now
✔ Are done with surface tips that don’t last
✔ Know there’s something deeper going on beneath the behavior
✔ Want to feel more calm, steady, and confident — not just “better behaved”
I work with everyday parents — moms, dads, single parents, and caregivers — across all ages and stages. You don’t need perfect kids to start coaching. You just need a parent who’s willing to look honestly at what’s happening in your home and inside you.
I work with all kinds of families,
in all kinds of waysÂ
Individual Parents
It surprises many people to know that the majority of my clients are just one everyday parent, whether they are part of a couple or not, who has made the decision for themselves to change their parenting and their relationship with their child. This stuff works, and you absolutely can do this whether you're a 'united front' or not! All it takes to work with me is the choice to go for it, and nothing more!
Separations
Grounded, practical understanding of how humans work. This is not theoretical training. Your team walks away with tools they will use daily in Slack messages, meetings, feedback conversations, and collaborative projects.Â
Couples
Do you and your partner want to undertake this work together? Let's go for it! I have a special couples package that builds individual work + couples sessions into every month. You'll each get your own individual access to teaching materials, and you'll be surprised to see how this work not only transforms your parenting dynamic, but your relationship with each other!
Legal Needs
If you've recently been given a court mandate, a CFI recommendation, or guidance from legal counsel to work with someone like me, you may feel like you're the only one in the world to be in this tricky spot (or you may not have even realized that people like me exist!). Fear not! I support parents with legal requirements all the time and am familiar with the needs these situations bring. I've got you!
Private, Couples, Group or Customized work - I have a package that fits your needs and budget. Set up a free Discovery Call and let's get started!

My Approach
I’ve worked with parents for over a decade. I’m also a mom of four, so I’ve lived this inside the trenches, too.
I bring:
• A deep understanding of human behavior and systems
• A relational approach — not punitive, not permissive
• Practical guidance plus emotional insight
• Support that meets you where you actually are — not where you think you should be
You’ll learn how to shift your patterns — not just your kid’s.
About Me.
Ann Kaplan.
Who am I? Why am I so good at parent work?
Whelp, first of all I have 4 kids of my own and have lived the dream (and nightmare!) of parenting through every childhood stage, from infancy through adolescence.
I'm also a Love&Logic (tm) independent facilitator and a life coach, which means I'm not just winging it. But most importantly, I have a unique holistic approach to parent work that includes emotional support, home management skills AND effective discipline that empowers children while improving behavior.
There are plenty of coaches out there - I am the one for you if you want someone who knows about discipline PLUS the emotion and chaos that make that discipline hard, someone who will give it to you straight, and love you fiercely.
