Parent Coaching with Ann Kaplan

This Is Not About Tricks.
It’s about you — the parent, the leader, the human being behind the frustration.

I don’t teach quick fixes.
I help you build the internal steadiness that makes effective parenting possible.

Through a grounded approach rooted in connection, boundaries, and leadership, I help parents:

• Understand why the same struggles keep repeating (and what’s actually driving them)
• Interrupt reactive cycles instead of escalating them
• End power struggles and yelling without becoming permissive or punitive
• Use tools from Love and Logic® in a way that actually sticks
• Strengthen connection in a way that naturally shapes behavior
• Show up as the calm, clear leader your child can trust
• Become the kind of parent you want to be — not just someone trying to apply techniques

This is not a one-size-fits-all formula.

It’s coaching that meets your family exactly where you are, whether that’s everyday stress, co-parenting strain, or rebuilding stability after high-conflict seasons.

Because when you shift how you show up, everything shifts with you.

Who This Is For
You’re in the right place if you:

✔ Want less yelling, nagging, and repeating yourself

✔ Love your kids deeply — but don’t love how you’re showing up lately

✔ Are done with surface tips that don’t create lasting change

✔ Sense there’s something deeper driving the behavior — yours or theirs

✔ Are navigating co-parenting challenges or high-conflict divorce and want steadier ground

✔ Want to feel calm, clear, and confident — not just “better behaved”

I work with everyday parents, moms, dads, single parents, co-parents, and caregivers  across all ages and stages.

Some clients come because of daily power struggles.
Some are rebuilding after divorce or working through court-mandated parental support.
Some simply want to strengthen their leadership at home.

You don’t need perfect kids to start coaching.

You don’t need a crisis either.

You just need a parent who’s willing to look honestly at what’s happening in your home — and inside you — and decide it’s time to shift the pattern.

I’ve been coaching parents for over a decade, and I’m also a mom of four.

I’ve lived the tantrums. The teen years. The mistakes. The repair.

My approach integrates:

• Authoritative parenting principles
• Love and Logic tools and training
• Emotional regulation and pattern work
• Clear boundaries and compassionate leadership
• Direct, honest feedback — without shame

I’m not here to judge you.

I’m here to help you become the steady leader your child needs — especially in the moments that feel hardest.

First, I’m a mom of four.

I’ve lived the dream — and the challenge — of parenting through every stage, from newborn exhaustion to teenage intensity. I’ve navigated tantrums, power struggles, identity shifts, and repair conversations. I know what it’s like to love your kids fiercely and still question yourself at the end of a hard day.

Professionally, I bring over a decade of coaching experience. I’m a certified Love and Logic® independent facilitator, practice authoritative parenting, and believe in relational, systems-based work.

What makes my work different isn’t just the credentials.

It’s that I understand both the structure and the emotion of parenting — the discipline and the nervous system underneath it.

In our work together, we focus on shifting patterns, strengthening your leadership, and helping you show up with steadiness, especially in the moments that feel hardest.

There are plenty of parenting coaches out there.

I’m the right fit for you if you want someone who will tell you the truth, support you fiercely, and help you build real authority without becoming harsh.

No shame.
No sugarcoating.
No leaving you alone in it.
