A Modern Resource for Today's Parents

Parenting can be viewed as a science that evolves just as any other area of study. Today, we have a variety of tools available to us that were unheard of when we were growing up.

Here at TheParentingCoach.com, coach Barbara Desmarais combines self development, education and parenting theory to provide a modern resource for today's parents. She knows being a great parent goes far beyond knowing effective discipline strategies. Barb takes a comprehensive look at all aspects of your life and your child's life before offering a parenting plan. It's never a one-size-fits all solution. She also applies her knowledge of the Law of Attraction in her coaching to help parents create exactly the home environment they want.

In addition to coaching, Barb has created a variety of inexpensive, downloadable products designed to help you make your parenting experience (and your children's childhood) the best that is can be. Please be sure to check out the Products page to learn more about her highly informative e-course, e-books, and audio offerings that will teach you:

How to raise your children without yelling, spanking or nagging
How to raise your child's self esteem
Sign language for babies

Barb is regularly featured in Canada's leading parenting magazine, Today's Parent.

Barbara Desmarais is also available to present workshops and teleclasses to your group that deal with the most pressing issues parents face today.
