About Lalaine
First and foremost, I am a parent just like you!
My twin daughters were just 10 months old when I found out my son was on the way and then seven years later, my fourth child completed our family. Having three children so close in age and then adding a fourth child with Down syndrome to the mix has provided me with much valuable insight into sibling relationships and I bring that parenting wisdom and experience to you.
In my professional career, I’ve worked with hundreds of children and families as a parent educator, an early childhood teacher, a program director, a school-site director, and an associate faculty member of a community college. I am credentialed by the state of California in adult education, specializing in parent education and family management.
Despite my university earned degree, I earned my most valued education in the field of parenting from raising my four children who, today, are productive, healthy adults. They’ve provided me with instrumental hands-on experience in the many facets and stages of parenting, including the family dynamics that comes with raising a child with Down syndrome. They continue to inspire me and stretch the bounds of my parenting skills every day.

What is a Parent Coach?
As your coach, I will help you strategize effective tools to achieve desired parenting goals in a way that honors a healthy parent/child relationship. Parenting is a life-long commitment. What happens in the foundational stages with your child shapes your future relationship as well as the person your child becomes. As we collaborate, I will support you by helping you:
- Define your current parenting challenge
- Explore your desired vision for your role as a parent
- Understand your child's developmental stage so that your expectations are realistic
- Map out specific research-based approaches to facilitate the change you hope to attain
- Practice and implement strategies and ideas
We will create a plan and design steps that will help you feel better equipped to handle difficult situations with your child while maintaining and upholding the kindness and respect that your relationship deserves.
Why do you need a Parent Coach?
Parenting is hard work. You are raising a human from infancy into adulthood and most of us don’t receive training on handling the complicated and emotional challenges that comes along with that.
When we find ourselves in stressful situations with our child, we often revert to how we ourselves were parented, and sometimes, those reactions are not always the most appropriate ones.
Having a parent coach to support and help you navigate developmentally appropriate ways to deal with the concerns and challenges of raising your child helps you gain the confidence you need to become the parent you have always wanted to be. Together, we determine the guidelines that can help you create a day-to-day reality that most closely resembles your ideal vision for your interactions and relationship with your child.
