Parenting was working
Then something shifted
You’re not looking for another opinion. You’re looking for something that actually helps.
Does this sound familiar?
You love your kid and want good things for both of you.
But something has changed. What used to work doesn’t work the way it used to. And everywhere you turn someone has a different theory about why.
You should be “more consistent.” Or “set firmer boundaries”. Maybe give them more space. Everyone has opinions. But underneath is a quiet voice telling you “if I were doing this right, we wouldn’t be here”.
And then there’s the harder part nobody talks about.
When your kid acts out, melts down, shuts down, or does the thing they keep doing — it doesn’t feel like a problem to solve. It feels like a verdict on you. “What does this say about me? What am I missing that every other parent seems to have figured out?”
What you need isn’t more advice about what to do differently.
What you need is someone who can help you get back to when things were working in the first place.
How Parent Coaching Works
The sticker charts weren’t wrong. Neither were the consequences, the agreemThe sticker charts weren’t wrong. Neither were the consequences, the agreements, the routines, or the thing you read about at 11pm and tried the next morning.
But here’s what most parenting advice misses. It tells you what to do. It doesn’t help you figure out what works for you and your family — the specific dynamic happening in your specific home.
That’s a different kind of help. And it’s what Lisa does.
No predetermined program. No sitting across from someone who makes you feel like you’re being evaluated.
It starts with a free 20-minute call. No commitment, no pressure. Just a chance to talk about what’s happening and get a sense of whether this feels like a good fit.
If you decide to move forward, you bring what’s happening in your family. Lisa asks the questions that help you see it differently.
Not what you should be doing. What’s already working well for your family — and how to build on it.
Between sessions there’s sometimes a small specific thing to try or notice. Not busywork — something tied directly to what you’re working on in your family. Parents who engage between sessions get more out of the process. Lisa keeps it purposeful and keeps it manageable.
No two families are the same. The pace adjusts as you go.
And the goal is never dependency on a coach — only more confidence as a parent.
About Lisa Krause
“I thought she was going to tell me what to do. She didn’t. She asked me questions until I figured it out myself. I didn’t know that was possible.” — Parent in Coaching Program
Every parent who walks in the door is already doing something right.
That’s the baseline where Lisa begins her work with every family.
Not focusing on what’s broken. But starting with a real conversation about what’s already working in your family and how to build from there.
Lisa doesn’t come in with a curriculum she runs every parent through. She doesn’t coach with shoulds and coulds. What works and lasts is finding what’s already working in your family and building from there.
She’s been doing this work professionally for over two decades. She trains other parent coaches at Concordia University. She’s spent a long time learning how to ask the right questions — and even longer learning how to get out of the way and let parents find their own answers.

Casey Williams
During her next session she said: “It’s like magic.”
An exhausted mom came to Lisa. Every transition in her house was a battle. Every “time to go” or “turn it off” was a potential blowup. She was bracing before these moments even arrived.
Lisa worked with her on something simple. Specific to her family, specific to what was happening in her house.
The next session she came back and said “It’s like magic.” She couldn’t believe how much better things went that week.
But what she said after that is more important. This mom talked about how she’d started using the same approach to prepare herself before those moments. So that when things got tense — and sometimes they still did — she was already steady. Already prepared.
That’s what parents describe after working with Lisa. Not a perfect household. Not a different kid. A clearer sense of themselves. More steadiness. The feeling that they know what to do when things get hard — and that they can find their way back when they lose their footing.
“I’m feeling more confident in myself.”
“I’m starting to understand my child a little better.”
“I tried something small and it actually worked.”
