Parent Coaching for Children

Practical Support for Parenting in Orlando, FL since 1998

Feeling Stuck with Tantrums, Big Feelings, or ADHD Behaviors?

You don’t have to figure this out alone. If your toddler or child is melting down over small things, refusing routines, struggling to listen, or overwhelmed by big emotions or ADHD, parent coaching can help. At The Counseling Corner, our licensed therapists walk you through practical, step-by-step strategies so home feels calmer, mornings and bedtimes feel lighter, and your child feels more understood and secure.

Since 1998, we’ve helped Orlando parents:

  • Reduce daily tantrums, power struggles, and “battles over everything”

  • Support kids with ADHD, anxiety, or emotional regulation challenges

  • Build simple routines that work for real family life

  • Respond with calm and confidence instead of guilt, guessing, or yelling

You’ll leave sessions with very specific tools you can start using the same day—no judgment, no shame, just real help for real families.

Parent Coaching for Toddlers & Children

Evidence-Based Parenting Support in Orlando, FL — Since 1998

Parenting young children is one of the most rewarding—and challenging—seasons of life. Toddlers and children don’t come with instruction manuals, but they do come with big feelings, growing independence, and ever-shifting needs.

At The Counseling Corner, our parent coaching services help you understand your child’s development, reduce daily stress, and confidently guide your child with warmth, structure, and clarity.

Whether you’re navigating toddler tantrums, emotional meltdowns, ADHD-related behavior, bedtime battles, power struggles, or early childhood anxiety, you don’t have to do this alone. Our licensed therapists provide practical tools that work in real homes with real families.

What Parent Coaching Looks Like at The Counseling Corner

Parent coaching is not judgment, criticism, or someone telling you how to raise your child.

Parent coaching is:

  • Compassionate, practical guidance

  • Support from a licensed therapist who understands child development

  • Realistic strategies tailored to your home, your child, and your parenting style

  • Tools you can start using the same day

In our sessions, we help you:

  • Understand why behaviors are happening

  • Respond with calm, confidence, and connection

  • Set clear limits without yelling or power struggles

  • Build routines that reduce daily friction

  • Learn emotional regulation tools your child can imitate

  • Create a consistent parenting approach across caregivers

  • Support your child’s developing brain, not just the behavior you see

Parent coaching empowers YOU so you can better support your child.

Parent Coaching for Kids with ADHD

Raising a child with ADHD can feel overwhelming—lots of emotions, lots of energy, lots of reminders, and lots of frustration… from both sides.

We help parents learn:

  • ADHD-friendly communication skills

  • Structure and routines that calm chaos

  • How to reduce homework battles

  • How to support emotional regulation

  • How to discipline without shame or escalation

  • What expectations are reasonable at each age

  • How to separate ADHD behavior from defiance

Children with ADHD need supportive structure, not constant correction. We help you bring out your child’s strengths while managing their challenges.

What Parents Need to Know

  1. Your child isn’t “bad”—they’re overwhelmed.

    • Behavior is communication. We’ll help you understand what the behavior means.

  2. Consistency is more important than perfection.

    • Small changes from you can lead to huge changes in your child.

  3. Tantrums are not manipulation—they’re dysregulation.

    • We teach you how to coach your child through big feelings instead of reacting to them.

  4. ADHD isn’t a parenting failure

    • It’s a different brain wiring—and kids do well when they have support.

  5. Getting support early changes everything.

    • Early coaching helps prevent long-term behavioral and emotional struggles.

Our Approach Blends

  • Child development science

  • Emotionally attuned, respectful parenting

  • Attachment-based strategies that increase cooperation

  • Behavioral tools for tantrums, aggression, and defiance

  • ADHD-specific parenting techniques

  • Tools for routines, transitions, and daily structure

  • Strength-based coaching to build confidence and connection

This is practical help, not generic advice.

FAQs

  • Parent coaching focuses on giving parents practical tools, strategies, and developmental insight to better understand and support their child. Unlike traditional family therapy—where both parent and child attend sessions together—parent coaching works directly with parents so they can lead confidently at home. This approach is especially effective for toddlers and children who struggle with emotional regulation, behavior challenges, or ADHD. Coaching is action-oriented, solutions-focused, and tailored to your child’s age and needs.

  • If you find yourself regularly dealing with tantrums, power struggles, whining, bedtime battles, constant reminders, or escalating frustration, parent coaching may help. It’s especially effective when common parenting strategies (timeouts, consequences, rewards) aren’t improving behavior or are creating more tension. Many parents seek coaching when their child’s emotions feel “too big,” when ADHD symptoms make daily routines difficult, or when they want more structure, confidence, and calm at home.

  • Absolutely. Tantrums are often signs of emotional overwhelm, not misbehavior. Parent coaching teaches you how to:

    • Prevent tantrums by strengthening routines

    • Respond in ways that reduce escalation

    • Support your child’s developing emotional regulation

    • Use connection-based strategies instead of constant correction
      Parents typically see improvements quickly once they learn how to meet the needs beneath the behavior.

  • Children with ADHD often struggle with focus, transitions, emotional regulation, and impulse control. Parent coaching gives you ADHD-specific tools to support your child, including:

    • Structure and routines that reduce chaos

    • Predictable systems for mornings, homework, and bedtime

    • Emotional regulation strategies tailored for ADHD brains

    • Ways to reduce power struggles and increase cooperation

    • Positive reinforcement methods that actually work
      We also help you understand how ADHD affects thinking, behavior, and emotions so your child feels understood—not blamed.

  • Parent coaching is ideal for toddlers (2–4), young children (5–8), and older children (9–12). You do not need your child present for sessions—coaching equips you with strategies that you can apply immediately at home. It’s especially helpful for families navigating ADHD, anxiety, emotional regulation issues, behavioral struggles, or major transitions like divorce or a new sibling.

  • Yes. Coaching can be effective with one or both parents. We often help co-parents, divorced parents, or blended families align on routines, expectations, and communication. Even if only one caregiver attends sessions, consistent changes from that caregiver can significantly improve a child’s behavior and emotional stability.

  • Sessions typically include:

    • Understanding the root causes of your child’s behaviors

    • Learning developmentally appropriate strategies

    • Creating a clear action plan for home

    • Practicing communication tools

    • Reviewing progress and adjusting as needed
      Parents leave sessions with step-by-step tools they can use that same day—and support between sessions when needed.
