At PM Pediatric Care, we understand that parenting is a journey that does not come with a manual

How we can help

Parenting coaches and certified sleep consultants are available to help you, as a parent or caregiver, gain clarity by building even stronger connections at every stage of growth and development.

Our team of experts are trained to:

  • address parenting and sleep-related concerns for children, ages 0-26.
  • understand your family’s needs, preferences, and culture to offer realistic and personalized support.
  • guide parents through tantrums, behavior concerns, family changes, parenting kids with autism and ADHD, and more.
  • help parents set and follow through on effective limits, especially regarding screens and technology.
  • support sleep problems including, but not limited to, schedules and routines, night waking and weaning, poor napping, sleep regressions, ending co-sleeping, bedtime battles, night terrors, and shifting body clocks.
  • provide a comprehensive assessment of your child’s sleep needs and challenges.
  • develop evidence-based, individualized plans designed to get you closer to a good night’s sleep.
  • support YOU as the parent or caregiver so that you can show up as the parent you want to be, and the parent your children deserve.

How we’ll work together

Coaches and consultants provide a safe space to explore parenting challenges and goals. They can work individually with you or in conjunction with other behavioral health experts in guiding you towards a more joyful and purposeful family life.

When you are ready to get started, your first step is to schedule an introductory appointment with a team member on a telehealth platform. We’ll discuss your needs and preferences, and connect you with a provider who best suits those needs.

FAQS

Parent and sleep coaching differs from therapy in that coaches meet with the parent(s) only, rather than the parent and child. While therapy assesses the past, parent coaching is forward-thinking, setting goals with a positive psyche. It provides a gentle, non-judgmental, and empowering environment, championing parents’ highest aspirations for themselves, their children, and their families towards a more joyful and purposeful family life.
