Parenting is one of the most rewarding — and most demanding — roles there is. Even the most dedicated, loving parents can find themselves feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about how to handle what their child or teenager is throwing at them.
Dr. Kincade offers parenting support and coaching in Calgary for parents of children of all ages — from toddlers through to teenagers. She has personal experience as a parent herself, and brings both professional expertise and genuine understanding to her work with families. Her approach is warm, practical, and non-judgmental.
Parent coaching with Dr. Kincade is a focused, practical, and collaborative process designed to give parents real tools they can use right away. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, coaching is tailored to your child's age, temperament, and specific challenges — as well as to your own parenting style and family circumstances.
Dr. Kincade works with parents of children of all ages, from toddlers through to teenagers, recognizing that the challenges — and the strategies — look very different at each stage of development.
Temper tantrums, defiance, and behavioural difficulties in younger children
Bedtime struggles, homework battles, and daily routine conflicts
Anxiety or emotional difficulties in a child — and how best to support them as a parent
Communication and connection with a teenager
Navigating parent-teen conflict and rebuilding trust
Supporting a child through a difficult transition — a new sibling, a move, or a school change
Simply wanting to feel more confident, calm, and effective as a parent
Coaching sessions focus on your specific concerns and goals. Dr. Kincade will take time to understand your child, your family dynamics, and the patterns that are creating difficulty — and will work with you collaboratively to develop strategies that are realistic, evidence-based, and tailored to your situation.
A thorough conversation about your child, your parenting style, and the specific challenges you're facing.
