No parent starts off knowing what to do...
No parent begins this journey with all the answers. Parenting, especially when faced with the stress of supporting a child struggling in school, is filled with uncertainties, challenges, and valuable growth opportunities for both you and your child. As a parent coach, I’m here to walk alongside you, offering guidance, encouragement, and practical tools that are tailored to your family’s unique needs. Together, we can discover new strategies, foster positive changes, and empower you to become the parent you’ve always wanted to be. Every step you take to connect with and support your child strengthens your bond and opens the door to a brighter, more fulfilling future.
Parenting is one of life’s most rewarding roles, yet it can be equally overwhelming—especially in tough times. Through my coaching, I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore new approaches, understand your child’s needs more deeply, and build your confidence as a parent. With the right tools and support, every parent has the potential to nurture a resilient, joyful, and growth-oriented family. My commitment is to help you find purpose and joy in each moment of parenting so that together, we can make lasting positive changes for your family’s future.
Hello! I'm LaVerne Sease-Batie
As a parent coach, my journey began with a deep commitment to supporting stressed parents and guardians who struggle to help their children succeed in school. I became a parent coach because I saw how guidance, empathy, and understanding could make a profound difference in the relationships between parents and their children, especially in challenging times. My mission is to help parents build strong, positive connections with their children, creating an environment where growth, resilience, and confidence can thrive.
My goal is to equip parents with the tools they need to guide their children through both school and life’s ups and downs, offering support in a way that transforms both the parent’s and the child’s experience. Through this work, I can share practical strategies and emotional insights, ensuring that families feel supported, uplifted, and equipped to achieve a growth-focused, fulfilling future. For me, the greatest reward is watching parents become the supportive champions their children need to flourish in school and beyond.
From Control to Connection: A Supportive Approach for Stressed-Out Parents and Guardians
When parents are stressed and struggling to support their children in school, the traditional "power-over" approach to parenting—focused on authority and control—can often lead to greater resistance and frustration. Instead, shifting to a balanced, relationship-centered approach that emphasizes mutual respect, open communication, and shared growth helps create a stronger, more supportive bond. This perspective allows parents and guardians to move away from rigid control, fostering cooperation, trust, and a positive attitude toward learning. Embracing this approach can transform family dynamics, helping children feel empowered, confident, and resilient while also reducing stress for the whole family.
How It Works:
When you book a call with me, we’ll sit down together and talk so I can get a sense of what’s going on for you and your family and where I can offer support.
I’ll explain my approach and the options we have for working together. You can ask any questions you have and see what type of support would be the best fit for your life and schedule.
If it feels right to you, we can book our first session and get started. If it’s not a good fit, I will do my best to offer alternative resources or suggestions for support, wherever possible. There’s no pressure of any kind, simply an opportunity to see if we are a good fit to work together.
Let's Talk!
Set up a time for us to meet, so that you can stop blaming yourself. And instead take the first step towards becoming the kind of parent you know you can be.
