Parent Coaching Services
Discover Proven Parenting Strategies for Child Anxiety and OCD
Expert Support for Parents of Anxious Children
At Raising Brave Kids, we understand the complexities of parenting a child who struggles with anxiety or OCD.
Our Parent Coaching Services are specifically designed to equip parents with the knowledge, tools, and confidence needed to support their anxious child effectively.
With a focus on building resilience and fostering a nurturing environment, we aim to transform challenges into opportunities for growth.
It’s important to know that Parent Coaching is not the same as therapy. While it can work alongside therapy or even be a starting place before therapy, it's not a replacement. So this means we won't be diagnosing or treating your child. Instead, Parent Coaching is like a class just for you, the grown-up who cares deeply and wants to know more about how to help. Our goal will be to give you the tools and knowledge you need so you can be the best support for your child.

What to Expect from Our Parent Coaching Services
Parent Coaching sessions are held online through google meet, making it super easy for us to connect no matter where you are in the world. We are based on the west coast (Pacific Time Zone), but work with families from all over.
Many parents like to start with weekly or bi-weekly meetings, but there's no strict schedule we need to follow. We can meet as often as works best for you, considering both your needs and your budget.
Some parents might only want a session or two to get a clearer plan on next steps to best help their child. Meanwhile, others find benefit in having ongoing meetings to guide them along the journey. Whatever you prefer is totally okay, and you don't need to make up your mind right away. We'll meet as often as you find helpful, for as long or as short a time as you wish, and we'll conclude whenever you feel ready.
The First Meeting
To start we really want to get to know how we can be most helpful. To do this we work to really understand the specific needs and challenges your family is facing. We focus on learning about your child's emotions, what triggers them, their reactions, and how it all affects your family life. From there, we will work together to craft a plan that's just for your child & family. This custom approach helps us zero in on the most effective ways to boost your child's resilience, improve their well-being, and strengthen the bonds within your family.
After our first meeting we’ll decide what makes most sense for our work together.
Tailored Curated Resources
Recognizing that the journey to managing childhood anxiety is ongoing, as part of our parent coaching services we offer specially curated resources for your families needs that are designed to support the success of implementing strategies at home and navigating the challenges that arise.
Empowerment Tools
A key component of our coaching services is providing parents with empowerment tools. These include techniques for modeling positive coping mechanisms, ways to motivate your child to tackle challenges with confidence and move past the avoidance behaviors that block their path to success. Our aim extends beyond providing immediate support; we're dedicated to establishing a foundation for enduring emotional resilience and overall well-being in your child.
Expert Advice on School Collaboration:
We also offer guidance on how to collaborate effectively with your child's school. This includes advocating for your child's needs, working with teachers and counselors to implement supportive strategies within the school environment, and ensuring a consistent approach to anxiety management across all areas of your child's life.
Access to Cutting-Edge Research and Techniques:
Raising Brave Kids stays at the forefront of pediatric anxiety research and parenting strategies, ensuring that our coaching services reflect the latest findings and most effective approaches. We continually update our resources and strategies to include innovative techniques proven to support children with anxiety and OCD, providing families with access to the best possible support.
