“I know my child is capable... but the more I try to support, the more stuck we both seem to feel.” Sound familiar? Maybe you’ve tried reminders, books, charts, pep talks, even tough love…But still end up wondering: "This shouldn’t feel so hard. What am I missing?" You’re not alone. And you’re not doing it wrong. But it might be time for a new approach. Hi, I’m Alyssa, an intentional parenting educator and coach partnering with schools and families to raise resilient, future-ready kids through simple, skill-building at home. I work with parents and schools in two key ways: 1) For Parents: Inside my 1:1 program, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁, I help caregivers of kids ages 4–12 shift from reactivity to intentionality: no shame, scripts, or perfection required. You’ll learn how to: • Coach communication and self-leadership skills with calm and clarity • Shift the patterns behind power struggles and disconnection • Set boundaries that feel safe, not harsh • Anchor your parenting in values and connection Because confidence doesn’t come from control, it comes from relationships. And your child doesn’t need a perfect parent. They need a present one. 2) For Schools: After a decade facilitating workshops for educators, I now help schools strengthen home–school alignment…without adding to staff workload. My 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽, Raising Thinkers, Leaders & Doers: How Parents Can Amplify the Skills that Power Academic & Life Growth, gives families practical tools to coach life skills at home - like communication, self-leadership, and emotional growth. It’s followed by my 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿-𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: Raising Capable Kids: The 21st Century Life Skills Series → Based on my Parenting with C.A.R.E. Method, each session empowers, not overwhelms, families to support their children’s growth in school and life. → Book à la carte or as a full-year progression → Designed for international, independent, and student-centered schools --- My Why: After 20 years in education, I thought I had the tools. But becoming a single mom abroad, navigating grief and raising two brilliant, deeply feeling girls, taught me otherwise. I discovered how much we all need support rooted in compassion (and research), not performance. Now, I help families shift:   • From tension to trust   • From conflict to clarity   • From hoping they’re doing enough… to knowing they are --- DM me to connect Book a connection call (link in Featured/Bio) [email protected] Let’s raise this next generation - together. 💗
