Joyful. Playful. Effective Parenting

Discover joy in parenting again

I believe two things are true: parenting is the hardest job there is, AND it doesn’t have to feel so hard.

Are you struggling to

End sibling rivalry?

Get your child to listen without punishments?

Stop your child’s hitting, screaming and tantrums?

Put an end to power struggles?

Stop feeling guilty about yelling at your kids?

Enjoy parenting and stop worrying?

Bring fun and joy back into your family?

Colleen's specialties

As a parent coach, I can address negative behaviours in many forms.  The ones below are my specialties!

Sibling Rivalry

If your kids constantly fight, or you are dealing with one child hitting or being mean to another, parent coaching can be a huge help.

I am a sibling expert!  We can dive into any and all things sibling related to change the dynamics in your home.

Getting Kids to listen

Stop feeling like your kids just never listen to you.  If you try your best to stay calm and then you end up asking 10 times and exploding, I absolutely understand.  I’ve been there.

I have simple to follow systems for getting your kids to listen without using punishments or consequences.

Staying Calm

Do you find yourself feeling angry and frustrated constantly at your kids?  Maybe you hate feeling that way but you just can’t seem to turn things around.

I used to be an expert at yelling at my kids.  I have been where you are and I can guide you into feeling more joy and more calm.

Meltdowns and Tantrums

Feeling exhausted by your child’s huge feelings?  Is your child an expert at meltdowns?  Do you walk on eggshells not knowing what will set them off?

How would it feel to be able to support your child in their feelings without feeling hijacked by them?

A Little About Me

Hey, I'm Colleen

I’m so glad you’re here!  When I started this little company in 2021, I was a mom in the trenches.  Today, I’m still a mom in the trenches, but I actually REALLY enjoy the trenches with my kids.

I am a certified peaceful parent educator and mom of 2.  I live in Alberta, Canada, where it’s really hot and sunny about 4 months of the year and kind of questionable the other 8!

Welcome to Heartstring Parent Coaching.  Have a look around!  I would love to join you on this journey that is parenthood.
