Joan Armon, Ph.D.

Joan is passionate about coaching parents, step-parents, and Grandparents of young children. She’s delighted to offer Holistic Parent Coaching based upon her own parenting and grandparenting experiences. She builds on her love for children, admiration for parents, and knowledge of current parenting research as she offers coaching to a wider circle of parents.

A deep understanding of parents, parenting, and children’s physical, social-emotional, cognitive, and ethical development is grounded in her Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, Policy, and Curriculum and Instruction degrees. She has advised diverse families and children as the director of a daycare and preschool and as an elementary classroom teacher.

Additionally, Joan served as a teacher coach and as a university professor for nineteen years focused on children’s listening, speaking, reading, and writing development and instruction. For delicious, outdoor learning, she also taught regenerative agriculture classes that brought college students, elementary school children, and organic farmers together to grow and eat healthy foods in Denver and southern Colorado.

Training in Cognitive Coaching and Nonviolent Communication informs Joan’s insightful coaching. She listens compassionately and celebrates parents’ successes while addressing parenting challenges through artful coaching. Joan collaborates with parents to generate and finetune childrearing strategies according to parents’ values and aspirations. She is honored to coach parents toward their aims for healthy and happy families.

Through Holistic Parent Coaching, Joan provides a refuge for parents, step-parents, and Grandparents to:

  • Express pride about their effective parenting;
  • Describe frustrations about their less-than-effective parenting;
  • Identify successful parenting experiences to build upon as well as challenges that call for meaningful changes;
  • Collaborate to plan and implement immediate and long-term parenting based on family values, beliefs, traditions, and aspirations;
  • 7 Pathways to Calm Parenting & Grandparenting;
  • Celebrate change toward family harmony.

Just as a vibrant poppy thrives on sunlight to unfold petals revealing inner beauty, so each child thrives on care and love to develop inner brilliance in physical, emotional, cognitive, and ethical dimensions.

JOAN ARMON, PHD – HOLISTIC PARENT COACHING

Children are not things to be molded but are people to be unfolded.

Children are not things to be molded but are people to be unfolded.

The complexities, fast pace, and disconnections from family and other communities leave parents, step-parents, and care-givers without the supportive people and places they need. Too often, there’s no one to talk to about childrearing with its joys, challenges, and best ways to parent.

What Can You Expect at a Session?

Session Sequence

First, identify your values, beliefs, traditions, and aspirations for your child, you, and your family. We celebrate your parenting successes and pinpoint a challenging child behavior you want to address.

In subsequent sessions, we examine the context and sequence of a challenging child behavior and parent responses. We then determine an immediate pathway of strategies that you apply and practice at home.

In following sessions, we analyze your child’s and your own responses as you practice the strategies. We may also consider responses of other family members and apply adaptations as needed.

Ongoing reviews of your home strategy practice are aimed at anchoring new behaviors and discussing what adaptations may be needed. We create a long-term plan to encourage ongoing positive behaviors.

Topics of sessions may also examine additional challenging behaviors you want to address.

We celebrate the development of your child’s positive character traits and the evolving family harmony that occurs now and into the future.
