Welcome to Parenting with Kristal Melbye

Parenting with Kristal Melbye was born out of an unwavering passion for helping kids grow up in the best possible environment and empowering families to create the homes they envision. Inspired by my own experiences and my educational background, I found my calling in supporting parents. My coaching philosophy is rooted in a strength-based, empathy-driven approach, where collaboration and a holistic view guide us towards effective solutions. Drawing from my classroom experience and special needs expertise, I am dedicated to fostering understanding and resilience in every family I work with. My goal is to empower families, improve communication, and build cooperation, ensuring they are equipped with the tools they need for success.

About Me

I am a certified Parent Coach, Love and Logic Trainer, and Siblings without Rivalry Trainer. My background is in Elementary Education and Special Education. I began my career teaching for seven years in Milwaukee Public Schools. 

​I teach Love and Logic classes and seminars for parents and educators, Siblings without Rivalry classes for parents, and I work with parents and families as a Parent Coach. 

I am passionate about supporting and empowering adults with a compassionate and realistic approach to help them find practical and sustainable solutions to their challenges.

I use my extensive training, life experience as a mother of four teenagers, and natural empathy to connect with and provide collaborative guidance for parents and teachers.

“I am so thankful I searched the L&L website and found Kristal!  She is amazing!  She did a six week L&L class in my home for me and five of my friends.  We all enjoyed the sessions and learned so much. Kristal is extremely knowledgeable.  She always has an answer, no matter what the situation you are dealing with.  My friends and I even joke when we have those tough parenting situations, 'What would Kristal do?' 
I can tell teaching parents Love and Logic is her passion. She makes you feel so comfortable and cares about each family she is coaching.  She honestly is my "go-to" for parenting advice.  When I just don't know how to handle a situation I can reach out to Kristal and her advice just seems so logical, like 'why didn't I think of that?’  Her L&L approach also helps me as a parent to be more patient and empathic with my kids, which I think we all can use!”
