Parent
"Parent coaching literally saved our family."
Dad of teen, step 10yo, and step 7yo
Parent
"For the first time ever I didn't feel like I was alone fighting to help my child, [my coach] was with me to get the help my child so desperately needed. Every time my child goes into a meltdown or a behavior I instantly have [coach] in the back of my head, what would she tell me to do right now? And I do it. And it works! I have to say, my situation and my story is probably a lot harder than most but [coach] never left my side.”
Mom of 10yo and Infant

"[My Coach] has really helped me gain a better perspective on what I should reasonably expect of my child and myself. This change in mindset has had a downstream effect of creating a most positive feedback loop with my previously difficult kiddo.”

“I have been so impressed by the gentle, helpful interactions your parent coach has had with my families! They are working together to find solutions to some really tough issues, and are seeing excellent results! I’ve seen so far that if a family is committed to putting in the work, this service is life changing!”

“One of the best ways I have found to accomplish [addressing parent needs] is in utilizing Parent Coaches through Timeout Behavior Coaching. They have a unique ability to build meaningful relationships with parents and their children quickly..and assist parents in addressing a multitude of different struggles within our community. When a parent feels heard, understood, and supported, that is when change is made and that is what Timeout Behavior Coaching has to offer to any parent and any family. I have thoroughly enjoyed their work and their collaboration through my experience in working alongside them with the families we serve.”

“Timeout Behavior Coaching is a service that needs to go beyond just our [Olmsted County] agency. We have worked in the Child Welfare system for a long time and this is one of the most innovative services we have had the good fortune to work with. Angie’s work has been a revelation to our practice and has helped us reach another level of service.”

“I offer my highest recommendation for [Timeout Behavior Coaching] services as [they] seek to expand in-home parent coaching work in collaboration with county social services and children’s mental health. In-home parent coaching services are both needed and timely. I am confident that Angie will bring the same dedication, insight, and integrity to county-level efforts that she has brought to our staff and district.”
