Divorced Dad Reset: Build a Home Your Kids Feel Good Coming Home To
Divorce changes your family—but it doesn’t have to diminish your role as a dad. This coaching package helps divorced dads create a calm, stable, connected home where their kids feel safe, supported, and happy to be with them. Together, we’ll focus on what you can control: your relationship with your kids, the culture of your home, your communication, your expectations, and the way you lead. What you’ll get 1. A clear plan for your home We’ll identify the biggest challenges you’re facing—from kids resisting transitions and routines to screen time, bedtime, discipline, communication, or simply figuring out how to make your house feel like their home too. 2. Practical parenting strategies you can use immediately You’ll learn how to set clear expectations, hold boundaries without constant conflict, get kids to cooperate, and respond to challenging behavior without losing your cool. 3. A stronger connection with your kids We’ll develop simple ways to build trust, have better conversations, and stay emotionally connected—even when your kids are struggling with the changes in their family. 4. Your Dad-as-Leader framework You’ll learn how to lead your household with confidence and consistency while avoiding the trap of becoming either overly permissive or overly strict. 5. Between-session support Bring real-life situations to our coaching. I’ll help you think through what happened, what you can do differently, and what to try next. You won’t have to wait until the next session to figure out every parenting challenge on your own. How it works 6 weeks of one-on-one coaching One 50-minute coaching session each week Personalized action steps after each session Email/message support between sessions for questions and real-life parenting situations Practical resources and tools tailored to your family A focus on progress—not perfection The goal: At the end of our work together, you’ll have more confidence, more clarity, and a stronger framework for creating a home where your kids feel secure, connected, and able to thrive.
What's included
My coaching style is warm, direct, practical, and judgment-free. I’m not here to tell you that you’re a bad dad or give you a generic parenting lecture. I’ll help you understand what’s happening, identify what’s within your control, and develop strategies that actually work in your household. I bring my deep understanding of kids (over 50K hours direct contact) to my understanding of your kids and their current situation. We meet via Zoom. At the start of every session, we celebrate your wins and at the end of every session, you commit to taking some action based on the pain point we focus on that session.

Award-winning parent coach builds harmonious homes where kids thrive
Elisabeth Stitt is a parenting coach and the founder of Joyful Parenting Coaching, known for bringing clarity and calm to families navigating an increasingly complex world—especially during major transitions like divorce and shared custody. With more than 25 years of experience as an educator, primarily at the middle school level, Elisabeth witnessed firsthand how rising anxiety, pressure, and confusion were affecting children and their parents. What stood out most was not a lack of care, but a lack of practical, trustworthy tools—something divorced and single dads often feel acutely. Her transition from the classroom into parent coaching was driven by a simple belief: parenting does not have to feel overwhelming, guilt-ridden, or adversarial. Elisabeth helps parents—particularly fathers navigating life after divorce—move beyond fear-based advice and short-term fixes, guiding them instead toward skill-building that supports long-term growth. Her work emphasizes clear expectations, emotional regulation, and strong connection, helping parents feel steady and confident rather than constantly second-guessing themselves. What sets Elisabeth apart is her ability to bridge research with real life. She approaches parenting as a learnable, evolving skill, not a set of rigid rules. One defining moment involved a bright student labeled as a behavior problem whose struggles stemmed from inconsistent parenting across two households. When both parents aligned around clarity and consistency, his confidence and behavior shifted dramatically—reinforcing Elisabeth’s belief that supporting parents is essential to helping children thrive. Today, through Joyful Parenting Coaching, Elisabeth has supported hundreds of families and thousands of students. Her work leaves parents—especially divorced dads—feeling capable, grounded, and equipped to raise kind, resilient, and independent children, even during life’s most challenging transitions.
