Calm Parents, Cooperative Kids
Practical tools for fewer power struggles and stronger family relationships.
Parent coaching & parenting classes
Through individual coaching and parenting classes, you will learn how to:
Connect Before Correct: Children listen best when they feel heard first (so do spouses).
Kind and Firm: Communicate boundaries in a friendly tone to invite cooperation.
Family Meetings: Practice appreciation and compassionate communication.
Win-Win Solutions: Brainstorm with your kids to model problem-solving.
Calm Tone: Speak calmly so children want to hear what you have to say.
Positive Discipline Group Classes: $225 for a 6-week series (90 minutes weekly). I welcome you to contact me for upcoming dates and times.
Individual Parent Coaching: $150 per 45-minute session. If that works for you, I am happy to set up a free 30-minute discovery call to find out if we are a good fit to work together.
ABOUT KEVIN OTT
My coaching style is collaborative. Every parent is different, and so is every child. By practicing different skills, you will learn which strategies work best for you and your child, so you can be fully loving while maintaining healthy boundaries.
In my personal life, I am married to an Asian American physician, which helps me appreciate the parenting challenges faced by professional couples with different family values. My wife and I have been married since 2012, and I have homeschooled our daughter since preschool. I am passionate to share parenting strategies that have helped me communicate more lovingly and authentically with my daughter and co-parent with my wife in a way that feels kind and connecting.
I facilitate workshops as a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator and hold master's degrees in education (2002) and social work (2006). As a parent coach, I use practical skills drawn from Positive Discipline, Nonviolent Communication, and Mindfulness. I am also a meditation teacher with over 20 years of experience helping individuals develop a personal presence practice.
