"...As a single mom, with more love for my children than I'll ever be able to express, asking Barb for help and guidance, was the best thing I did to jumpstart a better life for all of us."

- Kimberly Fletcher

"She was always positive and encouraging. I can't say enough about the impact Barb has had on my life. I will always be thankful to her for her support, comforting voice and encouraging words. Thank you Barb!"

- Charity Bacon

"I learned more from Barb in 8 sessions than I have from various other counsellors and groups. She kept me on track and focused on what needed to be addressed in my life and personality so I wouldn't keep making the same mistakes that always ended up hurting me..."

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.

Are you a parent who is thinking...

  • How do I deal with temper tantrums?
  • How do I discipline my toddler?
  • How do I stop my children from fighting?

  • How can I teach my children to be responsible?
  • I want to stop yelling but don't know what else to do.
  • I want to stop spanking but don't know what else to do.
  • I want to stop nagging!

Maybe a parenting coach is exactly what you're looking for!

"Ideally, discipline is not imposing controls. It's helping children control themselves, a goal best achieved when they feel respected, accepted, understood, and loved." - Fredelle Maynard

"Parents teach in the toughest school in the world - the school for making people." - Virginia Satir
