I'm honored to contribute to this important conversation about the role of AI in parenting alongside other professionals in the field.
I often notice a gap between the information and the lived experience. Knowing what to do doesn't always mean knowing how to do it, especially in the middle of a meltdown or after a sleepless night. AI tools have become more common in family households, and many parents use them for quick advice and support. While AI can provide suggestions, it cannot understand family dynamics, body language, or a child's unspoken cues in the same way that a human coach or therapist can.
​
Real growth happens through human relationships, and there is something profoundly human about being seen, challenged, and supported by a professional who helps you question old beliefs, shift patterns, and explore new ways of living. AI may offer information, but it cannot replace the warmth, presence, and transformative power of real connection.

Parent Coaching
​
At HOUSE of PARENTING, I help parents gain a deeper understanding of their child’s emotions, needs, and developmental stages that influence behavior. Together, we create a safe home environment and develop responses that are mindful rather than reactive and aligned with your family’s values.
This process strengthens lasting bonds and establishes a strong foundation built on values, love, and empathy while also setting clear and respectful boundaries.
I offer parents practical, hands-on tools drawn from years of experience working with hundreds of children and their families. The goal is to foster a resilient, joyful, and loving home—one that feels calmer, more connected, and easier to navigate, even in the face of stormy emotions.
Parent coaching is a dynamic, collaborative process between the parent and the coach. The coach helps clarify the parent’s goals, supports articulating them, and works together with the parent to create a clear, actionable path forward.
Children observe every action we take and listen to every word we say.
Parents become their children’s most important role models.
I am here to empower you to be the best parent you want to be.
Claudia Hoetzel - Parent Coach
As a Positive Psychology Practitioner, certified Life Coach, and experienced Early Childhood Educator with over a decade of dedicated service in Berlin, Germany, and California, USA, teaching in various preschools, I've had the privilege of working with hundreds of children and their families. This wealth of experience has provided me with invaluable insights into child development and parenting, making me a trusted resource for parents seeking support and guidance to understand their child's behavior.
It is an honor to offer you my time and service, and I would like to share one of my favorite quotes: "Service is the very purpose of life. It is the rent we pay for living on this planet." - Marian Wright Edelman.

These are just a few examples. In our work, we'll also explore your parenting style, address time management challenges together, and explore how your personal growth and well-being nurture your relationship with your child. Remember, parenting is not about perfection; it's about progress—and I'm here to support you every step of the way.
Do you offer 1:1 or group coaching?
I provide 1:1 coaching because I believe it's the most effective approach, recognizing that every family's goals and values are unique. As each house is built with careful attention to detail and consideration of its tenants' needs, our 1:1 coaching sessions are designed to address your specific challenges and the goals you have as a family. From there, we work together brick by brick, layering strategies and insights to construct a solid structure for your parenting journey. Through this collaborative process, you'll gain the tools and confidence to build a nurturing and harmonious family environment that aligns with your values.
Let's make a plan to create a colorful, loving home that inspires and empowers everyone to thrive.
