I am also adjunct faculty at North Seattle College & Seattle Central College, where I work as a Parent Educator at various preschools (& one kindergarten!) throughout Seattle. I love working with families because I deeply believe we all need more support in this wonderful and deeply challenging work of parenting. I teach Positive Discipline because it is deeply rooted in respect, both for one’s self and one’s children. I am drawn to the inherent curiosity needed to work with children (as we’re often asking ‘Why are they doing that?’). I believe our children’s behavior is always telling us something; our job is to listen and respond in a way that is both effective and relationship-building.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1567194124454-BH89QEOB5V40DR08J4TZ/Gruver-Tenold-family%28c%29marybalmaceda2018-154.jpg Welcome http://www.positiveparentingseattle.com/contact daily 0.75 2019-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1539973818890-ETHVD9MNFWJO9RSRJI5F/IMG_20180222_155831.jpg Contact http://www.positiveparentingseattle.com/classes daily 0.75 2024-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1579813770795-M2J9V25HBFE9ZTSFPOLT/IMG_3196.jpg Classes http://www.positiveparentingseattle.com/what-is-parent-coaching daily 0.75 2019-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1539973661796-093I2BSMWX7OJQ4P8EI5/upside+down.jpg What Is Parent Coaching? http://www.positiveparentingseattle.com/positive-parenting daily 0.75 2019-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1567280939376-LQI7ZH9SM4Q1Q3NGF5EP/kg%2Bin%2Bcar%2Bwith%2Bkids.jpg Positive Parenting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1567279255777-207SZMBD0YG11JO8MJ2O/kidsbeach.jpg Positive Parenting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1567280914289-E25DVIX98DDBDVAP9OB4/_DSC8597.jpg Positive Parenting http://www.positiveparentingseattle.com/pricing daily 0.75 2024-01-25 http://www.positiveparentingseattle.com/about-1 daily 0.75 2019-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1556578425678-NS5HT1CKSQTWYMV2ZB95/KG+-+headshot.jpg Copy of About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1567195267437-20EFOX455DHB9WPQXKYD/Gruver-Tenold-family%28c%29marybalmaceda2018-118.jpg Copy of About There’s the Instagrammable picture perfect parenting world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1540584592073-TAQW0NIAKVDAE0WGUJFX/Mothers+Day.fantasy.JPG Copy of About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1567195403894-ZS6GCCHLVACKE1968RKI/IMG_20190817_190116.jpg Copy of About And then there’s the real world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1539973818890-ETHVD9MNFWJO9RSRJI5F/IMG_20180222_155831.jpg Copy of About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1567194822149-IYDLPIN7CCQVA7YBGJXJ/Gruver-Tenold-family%28c%29marybalmaceda2018-118.jpg Copy of About http://www.positiveparentingseattle.com/philosophy1 daily 0.75 2019-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1567195403894-ZS6GCCHLVACKE1968RKI/IMG_20190817_190116.jpg Philosophy1 And then there’s the real world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1567194822149-IYDLPIN7CCQVA7YBGJXJ/Gruver-Tenold-family%28c%29marybalmaceda2018-118.jpg Philosophy1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1539973818890-ETHVD9MNFWJO9RSRJI5F/IMG_20180222_155831.jpg Philosophy1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1567195267437-20EFOX455DHB9WPQXKYD/Gruver-Tenold-family%28c%29marybalmaceda2018-118.jpg Philosophy1 There’s the Instagrammable picture perfect parenting world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1540584592073-TAQW0NIAKVDAE0WGUJFX/Mothers+Day.fantasy.JPG Philosophy1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1556578425678-NS5HT1CKSQTWYMV2ZB95/KG+-+headshot.jpg Philosophy1 http://www.positiveparentingseattle.com/katie daily 0.75 2024-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1556578425678-NS5HT1CKSQTWYMV2ZB95/KG+-+headshot.jpg About Katie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1567269688153-TQ9UNVD5A18AIKAZBFGC/Gruver-Tenold-family%28c%29marybalmaceda2018-94.jpg About Katie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1567269760045-HDEUI1W4LNWN8LSNVTX8/kid2.jpg About Katie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1567270059930-JURBF8V3A7CA1X9A52DJ/familybikeride.jpg About Katie http://www.positiveparentingseattle.com/intake daily 0.75 2019-08-31 http://www.positiveparentingseattle.com/classes-1 daily 0.75 2019-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1556582888681-9SOCEOPQZHUHIW1IO6OE/bw%2BKatie%2BHeadshot.4mp.jpg Old Version - Classes Katie Gruver, Co-founder of Positive Parenting Seattle, Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator & Mother of two. “I have been working with parents for 7 years in various support, education and coaching roles.

In working with at risk children I have learned that strong parenting skills can insulate children from significant trauma and allows parents to find joy and self confidence in any situation. I am most fascinated with infancy and early childhood, developing skills and training in infant mental health and positive discipline as the cornerstones of understanding how early childhood experiences shape people through the course of their lifetime. When not visiting families at shelters, encampments, or on the streets, my wife Annelisa, my 4 year old son Finnley, and my 2 year old daughter Hazel and I can be found hiking and camping in the mountains, or sailing in the San Juans on our small family sail boat.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1508790136441-8D5MYJRDU2P01W1YD8S0/IMG_3196.JPG Old Version - Classes http://www.positiveparentingseattle.com/my-coaching-philosophy daily 0.75 2019-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1540587603632-77760BIVV3NXY4D17S29/kg+in+car+with+kids.JPG Copy of My Coaching Philosophy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1540585630407-GMQ3M5HIGIGBX0JDFAEX/IMG_20180222_155831.jpg Copy of My Coaching Philosophy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5713f0391bbee0bd7ea249e0/1540587615228-PZR53Q7LSY198DL0ZUBU/family+bike+ride.jpg Copy of My Coaching Philosophy http://www.positiveparentingseattle.com/packages-pricing daily 0.75 2019-08-31 http://www.positiveparentingseattle.com/packages-pricing-1 daily 0.75 2019-08-31 http://www.positiveparentingseattle.com/packages-pricing-2 daily 0.75 2019-08-31 http://www.positiveparentingseattle.com/packages-pricing-3 daily 0.75 2019-08-31 http://www.positiveparentingseattle.com/read-me daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5052176b84aeb45fa5cfcc83/1377096507573-1MU42OOOOGIM9URAJ9D9/515c4225e4b0afec1218b21e.png Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5052176b84aeb45fa5cfcc83/1377096775448-0L7B4Q54H1VLOGFF1DPR/synthetica+%2820130821%29.jpg Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5052176b84aeb45fa5cfcc83/1377097104716-HDI53XJVV0DKZ24A3T68/51e453dee4b06abd3403c22e.png Read Me
