About
Parenting from Inside Out
Here at Parenting from Inside Out (PFIO), we help parents become the best they can be. We know you want to be a loving, peaceful parent that has a meaningful connected relationship with your children.
​
In order to do that, you need to find a way to reimagine and reestablish a different kind of relationship with your kids.
​
The problem is that
the traditional “power-over”
model of parenting
isn’t working.
Which makes you feel like you’re going to spend the rest of your life struggling with your children and continue to feel like you’re just not doing a good job as a parent.
We believe that the real issue is that we’re not taught how to be the kind of parents most of us long to be so we end up slipping into the patterns that were ingrained in us in our own childhoods.
About your parenting coach
Ting Valdez
I’m Ting Valdez, and I became a parenting coach because I was completely committed to having a different kind of relationship with my daughter than my parents had with me. Once I understood how possible it was to build a relationship with children based on mutual trust, understanding, and care, I became deeply passionate about supporting other parents in this life-changing work.
None of us start off as parents knowing what to do. We create plans, try to be the people we want to be, and watch as our idealistic imaginings get run over by the reality of daily life and the immense pressures of caring for our kids. I believe all children deserve to be guided and loved by the best version each of us has to offer them, as parents.
​
I understand how hard it is to ask yourself as a parent. This is why when you contact me, you will be met with understanding, a non-judgemental openness, and a supportive, personalized, effective plan that I will personally guide you through every step of the way.
