DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
You want to get your child to listen to you, but you feel like you are falling short in your own example every.single.day.
Let's face it--raising children can be downright hard! There's nothing more frustrating than wanting to raise your child to listen to you, only to feel like you're failing and resort to parenting pitfalls like yelling, nagging, time outs and they're just not working.
You want to build connection with your child, but you feel so discouraged. Maybe you have even tried reading books or taking parenting courses.
And yet, it's not quite working.
You keep losing your patience with your child, and resort to nagging, time outs and even yelling because it's just not working. Some days you feel like you have no idea what you are doing in this whole parenting thing.
But there is an easier way?
The truth is that having a clear, proven, comprehensible path to follow that equips you with the tools to cultivate respect, accountability and self-control, in a way that honors God, is a game-changer!

Hi there, I'm Kristin!
And I want to help you transform your parenting journey and nurture respectful and loving relationships with your children.
My biggest mission is to help you shift from parenting pitfalls to building strong relationships with your child, honoring God all along the way.
Just like you, I want to raise my children in the Lord's ways, fostering respect and accountability in them. As a devoted daughter of Jesus, a wife, and a mother to five precious kiddos, I also hold certifications as a Positive Discipline Parent Educator and Certified Life Coach. With over a decade of homeschooling experience, I am dedicated to imparting teachings that align with Christ. Additionally, my family actively oversees the children’s ministry at our church, driven by a deep passion for cherishing God’s children.
And if I'm being completely honest, I am deep in the trenches with you! In fact, I thought I was a patient person...before I had five children! Talking with other moms I realized that I was not alone. That while I desired to instill godly character, life, and my own flesh got in the way.
That's why I founded Cultivate Character Academy—a clear, step-by-step roadmap for your parenting journey.

Basically, it's for anyone looking for encouragement, motivation and tools to transform their parenting journey from yelling and nagging and start building respectful, loving and God-honoring relationships with their children.
The practical tips and actionable steps are applicable whether you are single or married, whether you are in your twenties, thirties or fourties or beyond and work best if you have a child/children at home from the ages of 2-18 years old. I give principles that can be used for younger and older children and teens, and provide examples for both.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET THROUGH THE ACADEMY?
Cultivate Character Academy is designed to be easily digestible, with powerful lessons that you can begin applying right away. There are 5 self-paced lessons and I highly recommend completing one lesson/week to complete the course in just 5 weeks.
WHAT IS COACHING?
Coaching, a profession that has gained significant momentum since the 1980s, is akin to having a personal guide for life. Unlike counseling, it isn't covered by medical insurance. Imagine it like having a sports coach – someone who helps players not only acquire the necessary skills to boost their performance but also offers encouragement, accountability, and structure to ensure the athlete reaches their full potential.
Parent coaches serve as invaluable resources for individuals navigating the challenging journey of parenthood. Much like a guiding light, these coaches offer support, guidance, and practical strategies to parents seeking to enhance their parenting skills. They understand the unique challenges and complexities that come with raising children and provide a tailored approach to address individual concerns.
From fostering effective communication with children to navigating discipline strategies, parent coaches empower parents with the tools and insights needed to create a nurturing and thriving family environment. Through personalized coaching sessions, parents gain confidence, build stronger connections with their children, and develop the skills necessary for navigating the various stages of parenthood with resilience and grace.
IS COACHING THE SAME AS COUNSELING?
Coaching is different than counseling. While counseling often probes the "Why?" of past experiences, coaching centers on the "How?" of present and future actions.
Unlike counseling, which looks into weaknesses and past events, coaching focuses on strengths and assets, steering individuals toward what they can do with their circumstances.
It's important to note that coaching doesn't replace addressing deep mental health issues but rather assists individuals in realizing their potential.
Coaches, inherently action-oriented, are trained to guide individuals toward their desired results, making progress and growth the focal points of their collaborative efforts.
