Parent Coaches

A parent coach is there to work through whatever challenges you may be facing with your little one. Parents often meet with a parent coach to discuss behavior modification and discipline issues, as well as things like matching parenting style to family values or increasing a sense of teamwork between partners. Some parent coaches work with couples prenatally to set them up with a plan for success as they transition into parenthood.

Future Focused Parenting - Kira Dorrian and Deana Thayer

Deana Thayer (left) and Kira Dorrian (right)

Future Focused Parenting is simple, yet profound…and that’s why we love it! We are so excited to share our revolutionary parenting philosophy with you. Our approach, developed from our work as parent coaches, provides you clear direction in your parenting choices while freeing you up to truly enjoy your children.

It’s really all about utilizing two powerful tools. First, when using Future Focused Parenting, you will operate from a strong “why.” This means you as the parent(s) decide (preferably in advance) the foundation for your parenting choices. This way, you’ll always understand the why behind the what in your parenting, for everything from behavior expectations to how you spend family vacation time.

Secondly, Future Focused Parenting uses long-term thinking. Rather than what seems easy or expedient in the moment, you will choose what is best in the long run. You’ll be thinking ahead to how this particular event or moment will shape your child(ren) as they grow. As such, you are thinking less about the “what” of the desired behavior at the time, and more about the “who” of the person you envision your child becoming as an adult.

You’ll see these two aspects of Future Focused Parenting throughout our site, as well as interwoven in all our podcast episodes, and even in our written materials. We are thrilled that you’ve chosen to check out Future Focused Parenting and hope that our work will help you move from merely surviving parenthood to fully thriving in it!

That First Year Gentle Sleep Coaching - Macall Gordon, M.A.

Sound familiar?
“I’m pretty sure I’m doing it all wrong.”
“This is not at all like the books said it would be.”
“I’m so tired…”


That first year can be a doozy…I can help.


THAT FIRST YEAR’s Gentle Sleep Coaching combines support with an individualized approach that minimizes crying and facilitates better sleep.



You don’t have to go it alone. Working with a coach can:
• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Improve confidence in your abilities and instincts.
• Allow you to follow a plan that’s tailored to your baby and family


I’m a certified Gentle Sleep CoachTM with a Master’s degree in Infant Mental Health. I’m also on the faculty of Antioch University’s Counseling Psychology program and conduct my own research on infant sleep and parenting advice. Plus, I'm the mom of two intense, non-sleeping babies (both young adult, expert sleepers). I know how hard this sleep thing can be. I also know that babies and children often need help to improve sleep and this doesn’t have to include crying-it-out. My approach is gradual and can be tailored to fit a variety of contexts (including cosleeping, room-sharing, and night-nursing).


Spirited? High needs? Highly sensitive? Alert? I specialize in working with parents of little ones who are “more” – intense, sensitive, perceptive, intense, active. These little ones require a specific approach that takes this temperament into account. Sleep books weren’t written for these little dynamos and parents often need even more support just to keep up.

Can meet locally by appointment in the Seattle and Eastside area. Can also work remotely via email or Skype. 425-481-6470 thatfirstyear.com mgordon@thatfirstyear.com
