Hi! I’m Sarah
At Confident Kids Coaching, my team and I are dedicated to empowering gifted, twice-exceptional, and bright children ages 6-12 to manage their big emotions, unlock their full potential, and become the world-changers they were meant to be. Our holistic approach not only supports the child but also provides the entire family with the tools and strategies needed to create a nurturing, understanding, and thriving home environment.
While this page shares a little about my journey and our team, it's really about you and your child. We're here to walk alongside you, providing the support, tools, and understanding you need to navigate the challenges of raising an exceptional child.
Understanding Your Family's Journey
As a master educator, gifted specialist, certified kids life coach, parenting coach, and mom to a profoundly gifted child, I've worked with thousands of families just like yours. I've witnessed the meltdowns, perfectionism, social struggles, and academic underachievement that can leave you feeling overwhelmed and helpless. But more importantly, I've seen the incredible transformations that happen when families are equipped with the right tools and strategies.
Celebrating Your Successes and Supporting You Through Challenges
Seeing your tears of frustration turn to tears of joy as your child finally flourishes, embraces their true potential, and thrives in every aspect of their life – that's what fuels our passion at Confident Kids Coaching. We're here to celebrate your successes and support you through the challenges, because we genuinely care about your family's well-being and happiness.
A Personal Connection to Your Journey
As a mom who has personally navigated the ups and downs of raising a profoundly gifted child with big emotions, I deeply understand the unique journey you're on. I've been where you are, feeling frustrated and like I was failing my own child. That's why I poured myself into the research and developed this toolbox of strategies – to help my own family overcome these struggles. Now, I've devoted my life to sharing these tools with parents like you, drawing on my expertise as an educator, coach, and most importantly, as a parent who has lived this journey both personally and professionally. At Confident Kids Coaching, we're committed to empowering your family with the knowledge, skills, and support you need to thrive.
Meet the Team
Hi, I’m Abby
Kids coach
I am a former teacher who specialized in early childhood education and social and emotional learning in students of all ages. My passion is to help children live purposefully, peacefully and to cultivate the skills within them to form and maintain deep connections that fulfill them. I was a Gifted and Talented certified teacher for nearly a decade and I have a Master’s of Education in Counseling Development: Marriage, Couples and Family Therapy.
I was a Gifted and Talented certified teacher for nearly a decade, and I believe strongly in the efficacy of the Confident Kids Coaching method and love seeing the positive impact its implementation has on students. The Confident Kids Coaching method has the power to help parents of high ability and gifted students to understand their specific needs and ensure they are met at every level. I look forward to working with your child and I am honored to work with each family that opens their heart and home to the Confident Kids Coaching method.
Hi, I’m Nicolo Bernardi, Ph.D
Parent Mindset Coach
I'm passionate about helping parents develop strong and flexible emotion regulation skills. I'm a certified ICF coach with a PhD in cognitive neuroscience and training in mindfulness and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Skills.
I know firsthand that emotion regulation can be trained and I believe that it plays a key role in staying in love with the adventure of parenting for the long haul. I specialize in supporting parents and leaders with the so-called highly sensitive personality, a trait that my father, one of my children and myself share, characterized by processing information at depth and having intense emotional reactions that can result in shutdown or overwhelm. I'm also intensely involved in helping people overcome smartphone addiction and in my spare time I love to play, tumble, stay fit and play music.
We have helped countless families with gifted and high-ability children embrace their child’s unique qualities, feel more love and connection, and truly thrive. We hope your family is next!
