You’re drowning in advice but starving for answers.

Your Instagram feed shows perfect families, while yours feels like chaos. You've read the books, tried the methods, and still find yourself:

  • Losing your temper over small things, then drowning in guilt

  • Giving in to tantrums just to make them stop

  • Feeling like a referee instead of a parent during sibling fights

  • Spending two hours every night on bedtime battles

  • Second-guessing every parenting decision you make

Every expert tells you something different.

You’re not failing. The “more is better” approach is failing you.

I’m Albiona Rakipi, a parenting coach who has worked with children and families for over two decades. I’m a parent myself, and I understand the parenting journey. I created this space with one intention; I wanted a safe space for parents to feel seen, heard, valued, and supported. 

Parenting is full of beautiful and challenging moments. I saw too many parents feeling defeated, overwhelmed, and burnt out. The parenting space has become noisy with checklists telling parents everything they should do. I wanted to take these ideas I saw so many parents adhering to and reframe them so you could connect with your kids by actually doing less.


When everyone tells you more is the answer, i.e., give more attention, give more time, you’re not giving enough of yourself; I’ll show you how we can connect more by doing less. 


Let’s reframe parenting together!

What Parents Are Saying…

  • "She is a light and one of the most realistic teachers when it comes to practical ways to parent. She helped me understand my children in ways that made me have a little bit more compassion as I walked through different stages with each of them. Through her classes, I recognized that I carry a lot of outdated ways of parenting my kids as I carried many things over from the way my parents parented me. She showed me that I have the ability to parent the way that feels right and there is no one size fits all for children."

    Elizabeth Lewis

  • "Albiona created a safe and comfortable environment where parents can speak openly and honestly about the various parenting struggles we often face. I loved how Albiona listened attentively and encouraged us to dig deeper into the behaviors and even more importantly explore our own responses. She shared tangible strategies that parents can apply immediately. I have gained so much from using the PARR method with my kids and I am so grateful to Albiona for her perspective on life and the journey of parenthood.”

    Qazime B.

  • "Albiona was so insightful in helping me work on a parenting problem I had been challenged by for over a year. By helping my son understand that I was on his team, we have seen him diligently work through his homework and complete it on his own, without intervention for the first time in almost a year."

    Michelle B.

  • "I can’t speak highly enough of Albiona. Her support and care has meant a lot in helping my son with some of the social issues he’s been having in school. She really takes the time to listen to my concerns and offer suggestions and tips on how to handle certain situations, as well. She’s very knowledgeable, patient and kind while really trying to understand and help with strategies and solutions in some of the parenting struggles I’ve had. I highly recommend her services to any parents struggling with their children’s behavioral and social issues."

    Christina A.

  • "I have a 1 ½ year old and, as the tremendous twos are approaching, I needed help with how to prepare with that. There are a few things my child is already starting to test limitations on. I felt myself becoming the “bad parent” with the short fuse and that is something that I did not want. The P.A.R.R method has helped, as well as just some self care and reflection, through meditation and breathing. Albiona also reassured me that I am not alone in these thoughts and feelings that I am having, so that has done wonders for my mindset!"

    Jessica S.

  • “As a single parent, I reached out to Albiona when I was at my breaking point, struggling to manage my 4-year-old son's daily tantrums and arguments. Albiona's calm, non-judgmental approach created a safe space for me to open up and focus on the root causes of our challenges. Her PARR system has made a profound difference in both my son's behavior and my own response to challenging situations. Thanks to Albiona's support, I feel more confident in my parenting, and I can see the positive impact on my son’s emotional regulation. Her approach has been a game-changer for both of us.”

The Parenting Reframe Podcast

On this podcast, we’ll explore solutions to some of the biggest parenting challenges (i.e., tantrums, potty training, challenging behaviors, neurodivergent learners, teenagers, bedtime, homework, expectations, etc.). We’ll chat with experts, parents, and even kids about what it means to parent and to be parented. I hope to create a safe space where parents feel seen, heard and supported through this wild journey, that is parenting.
