Parenting is a journey filled with countless joys and challenges. From preconception to preteen, working parents juggle multiple responsibilities, from professional goals and deadlines to household chores and maintaining relationships. Without support tools or guidance, finding a balance can feel overwhelming. That’s where Parento’s parent coaching comes in, offering invaluable support tailored to your unique needs and circumstances.
Parenthood is not cookie cutter, and neither is our parent support.

Parent coaching is designed to build routines, identify patterns, and create a sustainable system for work-life integration. You can expect virtual one-on-one sessions with an expert parent coach for help with work-life management, parent questions and concerns, and high-touch emotional support at any parenting stage. Coaches are here for everything from mitigating career concerns to parenting needs and direction, some examples of common topics for coaching are:
- Family planning or consideration

- Foster and adoptive parent support
- Children with special needs
- Postpartum anxiety/depression screening

Personalized Guidance
While parenting books and advice from friends can be helpful, they often offer generalized solutions that may not align with your specific situation. Parent coaching provides personalized guidance tailored to your unique needs and challenges. Whether you’re grappling with a particular parenting dilemma or seeking strategies to foster a deeper connection with your child, a coach can offer insights and support customized to you.
Prioritizing Mental Health
Research shows that parental well-being significantly impacts both family dynamics and workplace performance. Yet, many parents feel they lack the emotional support they need. 75% of parents reported that they could have used more emotional support than they received, and parent coaching addresses this gap by providing a safe space for caregivers to explore their feelings, concerns, and aspirations. By nurturing your mental health and well-being, you’re better equipped to navigate the demands of parenthood and professional life.
Enhanced Relationships
Strong family bonds are built on open communication, trust, and understanding. A parent coach can help you cultivate healthier, more fulfilling relationships with your family members, including your children, partner, or co-parent. By gaining a broader perspective and learning effective communication techniques, you can foster harmony and connection within your family unit.
Work-Life Balance
Achieving a harmonious balance between work and family commitments is essential for overall satisfaction and fulfillment. Parent coaching equips you with the tools and strategies to manage your time effectively, set boundaries, and prioritize self-care. With expert guidance, you can navigate the complexities of modern parenting while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
Parent Experience
Parent Coaching offers a holistic approach to supporting working parents, empowering them to thrive personally and professionally. If you’re seeking guidance, support, and practical strategies to navigate the challenges of parenthood, don’t hesitate to sign up for coaching through the Parento program.
