My four kids showed me quickly though how much I had to learn. With my strong-willed oldest leading the charge, parenting quickly became my ultimate crash course in flexibility, patience, and connection. No degree or training could have prepared me for the real-life lessons they brought into my world.Today, as a parenting coach, I draw on those hard-earned experiences to help parents of school-aged kids—especially tweens and teens—navigate their children’s growing independence. Using tools like the DISC personality assessment, I guide parents to better understand their kids’ unique personalities and the power struggles that can come with them. Together, we navigate the inevitable challenges of parenting to create a strong foundation and relationships that thrive even during the most challenging years.I’m Mindy Green, and I’m here to help you tackle the ups and downs of parenting with a little more ease, a lot of empathy, and the occasional well-deserved laugh.
