"...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..."
- Rosalind Reid

"I found the "Your Child's Self Esteem" e-course a great reminder of what people need to feel good about themselves. Adults innately know what boosts their self-worth, but sometimes it's difficult to apply that to our treatment of others. This course has really opened my eyes to how I treat my children and how I need to change what I do to help them to grow up to be confident children with a worthy self image."
- Dawn, Mother of 2

Barb helped our family through a really hard time with our son. She was there to guide me and my husband through some very difficult times. I can't tell you how comforting it was to be able to contact her and get her advice on things that were happening at that moment. She was able to give us some really good tools and advice for us to parent by. It has made a great difference for our family. I would recommend her to anyone.

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?

Do you need a parenting "tune-up"?

Many parenting challenges are reasonably simple and just need the ears of an objective person. Often times a single session is all that's needed to help turn things around. It might be with your toddler, your preschooler, your school-aged child or your teen.

For the cost of dinner out or less than the cost of a video game this might be exactly what you need to move you and your family in the right direction. Your kids are worth it.

For only $49.00 US you can get a parenting tune-up. Click here to sign up.

Help Your Child Through the Trauma of Divorce

We all know how devastating divorce can be for children, most of us don't know what to say to make it easier on them. That's why I am proud to recommend Rosalind Sedacca's new e-book, "How Do I Tell the Kids about the Divorce?" - A Create-a-Storybook Guide to Preparing Your Children -- with Love!

This loving and wonderfully affordable, one-of-a-kind guide walks you through the whole "divorce" talk and comes with a lot of nice bonuses. Rosalind even offers some free advice right on her site!
