About the coach
MARY TREGO
Hi! I’m Mary Trego, a wife, mom, grandma, educator and parent coach. I have an education degree and taught several years before becoming a full-time “at-home” parent. My husband and I have 5 grown children-3 daughters and 2 sons- including a son adopted from Guatemala, and 5 cute, smart grandchildren, with 2 more on the way!
My husband made a mid-life career change, which moved us from Kansas to Athens, Greece in 2000. This was a huge life change for the children; they were entering grades 5, 7, 9, 11, and the oldest in college. Living overseas had its challenges, but also changed us in many positive ways. Since that first move, work assignments took us to Mexico, Ethiopia, South Africa, Washington DC, and Italy. After my husband’s retirement, we moved to beautiful western Montana.
Parent Coach Training
I started training as Parent Coach in a graduate level course with the Parent Coach Institute (https://thepci.org). This certification prepared me to coach parents in a positive and professional way. Feeling that there were gaps in my ability to really help parents,
I choose to continue my training with Connected Families ((https://connectedfamilies.org). I was attracted to CF by the Biblically grounded and research-informed teaching. Connected Families is rich with the knowledge, tools and encouragement that parents need. I graduated in 2024 and continue learning through their post-graduate training.
