Our Approach to Coaching

Learn what makes coaching at 15 Summers different—relational, respectful, and always tailored to your family’s unique needs and values.

We believe parenting support should be personal, not prescriptive. That’s why every coach on the 15 Summers platform is committed to meeting families with empathy, curiosity, and respect—not one-size-fits-all answers.


Real conversations, not lectures

Our coaches don’t tell you what to do. Instead, they ask thoughtful questions, and help you reconnect with your own values as a parent. They bring tools but never an agenda. You stay in the driver’s seat.


Rooted in connection

Whether you’re navigating toddler tantrums, sibling fights, or teen pushback, we believe the best strategies start with relationships. Our coaches help you understand what’s underneath the behavior so you can respond with empathy and clarity, not just rules. When connection comes first, cooperation and growth follow.


Informed by science, shaped by experience

You’ll find coaches trained in areas like:

  • Positive discipline
  • Trauma-informed support
  • Neurodiversity and sensory needs
  • Responsive, respectful parenting
  • Mindful and conscious parenting

They also bring real-life experience as educators, therapists, and parents themselves. Every coach is carefully vetted and aligned in one goal: helping you build a home where everyone can thrive.


Small steps, big shifts

You don’t need to transform overnight. Coaching helps you make small, doable changes in real time—so you can handle what’s hard today and build momentum for tomorrow. Parents often describe feeling more calm, confident, and connected after just a few sessions.
