Introducing Active Parenting: A Compassionate Coaching Program for Parents in Lehi, Highland & Alpine

Parenting is one of the most rewarding, and challenging, roles we’ll ever have. For many families, especially those raising neurodivergent children or children with autism, daily life can feel like an emotional rollercoaster filled with joy, frustration, guilt, and exhaustion.

At Playability Behavior & Learning, we understand that behind every child’s success is a caregiver who’s trying their best, often while feeling burned out and emotionally drained. That’s why we created Active Parenting, a science-based coaching program designed specifically for parents and caregivers who are ready to find calm, clarity, and confidence again.

What Is Active Parenting?

Active Parenting is Playability’s premium parent coaching program, rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT), a compassionate, evidence-based approach that helps caregivers navigate stress and parenting challenges with emotional flexibility and resilience.

In our sessions, we don’t just talk about behavior management. We help you reconnect with what matters most: your values, your relationship with your child, and your ability to stay calm and present in the moments that matter most.

Whether your child is neurodivergent, autistic, or neurotypical, Active Parenting gives you the tools to:

  • Respond to challenging behaviors with clarity and compassion

  • Manage parenting stress and emotional burnout

  • Improve family communication and connection

  • Strengthen your confidence and sense of purpose as a parent

Why Families in Lehi, Highland, and Alpine Love This Program

Families in Utah County often juggle multiple roles, work, home, therapy sessions, and school meetings, leaving little time for their own emotional well-being. Active Parenting provides a safe, judgment-free space to slow down, reflect, and learn practical tools that truly make a difference in your day-to-day life.

With the support of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), you’ll learn to approach parenting not as a constant battle, but as a journey of growth, for both you and your child.

Parent Coaching That Goes Beyond Behavior

At Playability Behavior & Learning, we believe that supporting parents is just as important as supporting children. Through Active Parenting, families discover that change begins with awareness, acceptance, and aligned action.

If you’ve been feeling:

  • Overwhelmed by your child’s behaviors

  • Unsure how to handle emotional outbursts or meltdowns

  • Burned out and disconnected from your role as a parent

You’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
