Empathy Compassion Support

Sandy Gold M.Ed.

Certified Parent Coach

Educational Consultant

Hi - I am Sandy Gold, a dedicated mother, a passionate educator, and certified parent coach on a mission to spread the joy of parenting children. With an extensive background in teaching children and adolescents of all ages, as well as mentoring and guiding fellow educators, I have cultivated a wealth of experience and insights that I now share with parents seeking to create harmonious and fulfilling family lives.

As a mother of two – a son and a daughter – my own journey through parenthood has been one of rich learning and adaptability. I still vividly recall the days of juggling responsibilities, cherishing the highs and navigating the challenges that come with raising children. I firmly believe that every child is unique and requires a personalized approach to parenting. My own experience of tailoring my parenting style to suit each of my children's distinct needs has formed the cornerstone of my coaching philosophy.

What I bring....

With a background that spans teaching across a diverse range of age groups – from young children to teenagers, and even college students – I have honed my communication skills and insight into the varying developmental stages of children. As an educational consultant, I lead engaging and thought provoking professional developments and coach other educators into making their classrooms safe and inclusive learning environments.

My guiding principle, "It's not that they won't, it's that they can't," underscores my belief that children's behavior often stems from developmental limitations rather than defiance. This empathetic perspective forms the basis of my coaching approach, helping parents reframe challenges and fostering a more effective and compassionate parent-child dynamic.

Recognizing the need for comprehensive support for parents, I pursued certification as a parent coach. Armed with this expertise, I now empower numerous parents to approach parenting with confidence, rediscovering the delight in nurturing their children's growth. My coaching style is infused with the belief that parenting should be an enjoyable journey, enriched by laughter and shared experiences.

Why Parent Coaching?

Parenting is hard work, and even the most dedicated parents can sometimes find themselves facing difficult or unfamiliar situations. This is where a parent coach comes in.

The goal of parent coaching is to help parents develop a deeper understanding of their children's needs, behaviors, and developmental stages.

Through thought-provoking questions, self-reflection, active listening, and the provision of tools and strategies, a parent coach assists parents in making positive shifts in their parenting approach.

Working with a parent coach can help you:

Focus on subtle shifts leading to transformative moments in parent-child interactions,
Turn challenging situations into opportunities for connection and growth.
Learn strategies for effective communication and problem solving
