About Us
Rising Parent is a coaching and resource platform dedicated to helping parents navigate the complexities of raising a family with confidence and clarity. Founded by veteran parent coaches Edna Vartko and Tim Vartko, the organization provides a lifeline for parents who feel overwhelmed, confused, or guilty about their parenting choices.
With over 20 years of experience in childcare, coaching, and publishing, Rising Parent bridges the gap between instinct and skill. Their mission is to transform the parenting experience from a source of stress into a journey of self-efficacy and joy. Through their signature monthly text coaching program, "The Parent’s Advantage," as well as personalized one-on-one sessions, books, and expert-led articles, they equip families with practical, non-judgmental strategies to improve parent-child relationships and foster long-term resilience.
