❌Public behaviour — Tantrums, interruptions, poor manners, or meltdowns leave you embarrassed.
❌Sibling conflict — Fighting, arguing, teasing, and competition drain the peace from your home.
❌Correction isn't sticking — Consequences, charts, reminders, and lectures haven't created lasting change.
❌You're worried about character — You don't just want compliant children. You want children who are virtuous, respectful, responsible, and considerate.

The Virtue Roots Method
Because you don't just want better behaviour. You want formation that lasts.
Your goal isn't simply to get through the next tantrum, meal, bedtime, public outing, or correction.
You want to raise children who know how to live well. Children who grow in virtue, respect, responsibility, self-control, gratitude, consideration, and love.
And you want to become the calm, confident parent who can lead them there.
That's what we're building together.

Common Objections Answered
But I've tried everything.
That's exactly why we look deeper. Instead of adding another consequence or chart, we identify what is underneath the behaviour and what needs to be formed.
Isn't this just a phase?
Some behaviours are developmental. That doesn't mean they should simply be ignored. We'll help you distinguish what is developmentally expected from what needs intentional formation.
Will I be judged?
No. Coaching is not a place for comparison, shame, or blame. You come because you want help, and the goal is to support you as you help your child grow.
Is this psychological therapy?
No. Manners coaching isn't psychological treatment, diagnosis, or a replacement for professional mental-health care. When professional support is appropriate, it should be sought separately.

FAQ Coaching Services
Answering questions you may have ahead of time
What is manners/etiquette coaching and who is it for?
Manners coaching involves listening to the troublesome behaviours in your home and finding solutions to help the parent and child so manners can take root. It is guiding the behvaiour to a more holy outcome in order for virtue to be achieved.
This program is for Catholic families who want manners to take root in order to raise Saints.
Do you work with children, teenagers, adults, or everyone?
Corina works primarily with parents who have children aged 10 and under. However, if parents need help with their teenagers, Corina won't turn them away. She has lots of experience working with teenagers and parents.
Corina assists in instilling manners in children and helps parents on their parenting journey to raise better-mannered children and serve them with dignity.
What does a typical session look like?
You will receive an appointment confirmation via email, as well as a 24-hour reminder. You must fill out the inquiry form prior to your appointment. This allows for a prepared and thorough answer.
During the sessions, things your family are struggling with will be addressed. In 30-minute sessions, it is typically about solving 3 issues; for 1 hour, it is about 7.
At the end of the session, you will get a copy of our meeting notes and an after-session summary with any suggestions needed for the family member to succeed.
Is all information kept confidential?
All information is kept confidential. All information will be kept in accordance with the Privacy Act. Confidentiality will only be breached if law enforcement needs to be involved or if your life is at risk in any way.
How do cancellations and rescheduling work?
You have 24 hours to cancel or reschedule. If it is less than 24 hours, it is non-refundable, as the prep work and schedule have already been arranged for you.
