Our Coaches are kid experts!
Changing how you see your child changes how you react, which changes how your child reacts to you.
Our coaches are experts at giving you new ways to see your child, yourself, and your boundaries that get you unstuck, bring out hidden strengths, and stop unwanted behaviors at the source.
Contact our coaches for private coaching, take their classes, read their blogs, follow them on social media.
Dr. Betsy Blackard
Parent & Relationship Coach
Dr. Betsy is the founder of How Kids WorkTM, a branch of Language of Listening® dedicated to helping parents disappear everyday struggles so they can enjoy their kids more.
Because when you know how kids work, how to work with them becomes clear and even fun!
The daughter of Sandy Blackard, Betsy is a second-generation Parent and Relationship Coach with 20+ years’ experience with children. She loves how kids invite her to see the world (and herself!) in new ways.
Raised in a Language of Listening household, Betsy naturally uses our simple tools in her coaching interactions with parents, children, and anyone seeking to improve relationships. She loves the way these tools allow her to easily connect with people of all ages.
After completing her PhD in Positive Developmental Psychology, she became the spokesperson for Language of Listening. She is excited to keep helping people create joyful relationships of all kinds. She’s especially skilled in helping parents make sense of their children’s behavior.
If she’s not coaching or leading a class, you can find her with her toes in the sand at the beach or visiting every coffee shop to find the best chai latte.
Betsy is available for private coaching.
Chia-Ying Chang
Parent Coach
Chia is a Taiwanese mom of three boys, fluent in Mandarin Chinese, Taiwanese, and English.
When parenting felt overwhelming and exhausting, Language of Listening® offered her a path back to clarity, connection, and joy. It helped her truly hear her children — and herself — and showed her that it’s possible to parent with confidence, calm, and love, even in the messiest moments.
As an Authorized Coach, Chia now uses Language of Listening® to guide other parents through the same powerful transformation. She is the creator of Inside Chia, where she shares insights from her parenting journey, practical tools, and a fresh perspective on raising children with presence and connection.
Chia believes that every child deserves to be met exactly where they are, and every parent deserves to feel seen, supported, and empowered. Parenting can feel hard, and there is a way to live it the way you want — with presence, mutual respect, and real joy.
Her dream is for every parent, caregiver, and adult to learn Language of Listening® so we can all truly hear children, honor our own voices, and build relationships where everyone feels seen, understood, and deeply valued. In that space, every family can find their own rhythm, and every child can grow into an adult who feels whole and helps others feel that way too.

Dalia Liolia
Parent Coach
Dalia is a mom of two and our first Authorized Language of Listening Coach in Greece. Her passion is helping mamas enjoy life!
As a trained nurse, life was mostly fine with one child, but when the second became a toddler, she felt like things started going off the rails. Nights of feeling incapable, helpless, and drowned by guilt became way too many.
That’s when she found Language of Listening®. It wasn’t a magic wand that made everything perfect in a wink, but it certainly started sprinkling magic into her life.
When asked if she would like to become a Language of Listening Coach, Dalia answered, “That would be my dream!” though at the time she thought dreams were impossible. Well… she’s already started living her dream because, as she’ll happily tell you, with Language of Listening, anything is possible. 
Fluent in English and Greek, Dalia is available for private coaching. You can connect with her on Facebook or take her minicourse, Boundaries with Love.

Camilla Miller
Parent Coach
Camilla is the mother of two based in West Sussex, U.K. She is the author of Keeping Your Cool Parenting Workbook and blog, and co-author with Rose Clark of three Language of Listening® phrase books.
As a qualified primary school teacher, she didn’t think much about her parenting skills until her second child was born…then BAM! This child was more reactive, impulsive and threw epic tantrums.
Camilla knew there had to be a way to raise kids that didn’t include constant struggles, naughty steps or reward charts, and she was right. When she discovered Language of Listening® her first thought was, “Why did no one tell me this before?!!”
Camilla’s passion is to support parents to really understand their child, especially the more challenging, reactive kids, and give parents the tools they need to transform family life. She shares Language of Listening tools on her blog and through her books, courses, workshops, and Facebook Community.
Connect with Camilla on Facebook or on her website. She is also available for private or couples coaching and classes.
