Have You Ever Felt Drawn to Supporting Children and Families in a Meaningful Way?
Parenting is one of the most important yet challenging journeys in life. Many parents struggle to understand their child’s emotions, behaviors, and unique needs—often feeling lost or unsure of how to nurture their growth.
Children, too, face a world that doesn’t always see them for who they truly are. They need guidance, understanding, and a supportive environment that allows them to thrive.
As a Child/Adolescent Development and Parenting Coach, you become a trusted guide—a source of clarity, strength, and wisdom for families seeking a better way. Your role is not to instruct or fix, but to empower, listen, and create meaningful transformation in the lives of children and their caregivers.
Now, you can gain this expertise through the Professional Coaching Mastery Certification specializing in Child/Adolescent Development and Parenting (PCMC CADP)—the world’s first-ever ICF-accredited program of its kind. This pioneering certification sets a new standard in coaching, equipping you with the knowledge, skills, and global recognition to thrive in this transformative field.
As a CADP coach, you are a pivotal agent in fostering empowered, harmonious familial and educational environments. You are in a unique position to holistically reshape the child-parent dynamic, setting in motion a chain of positive shifts that will resonate through future generations. This vocation equips you to guide parents away from deep-seated generational parenting patterns and habits, enabling them to craft a distinct parenting blueprint that aligns perfectly with their child’s and the family’s needs as a whole.
Yet, it’s crucial to understand that coaching children differs from adults. Engaging with the evolving minds of children and adolescents demands a profound depth of specialized coaching education, skills, and expertise.
With or without prior knowledge in Developmental Psychology or Child Behavior Studies, you are welcome to the program; a passion for child and adolescent development will enable you to thrive.

What Our Students Say
I recently completed the CADP coaching education program and it was an incredible experience. The program offers a perfect balance of ICF-aligned coaching knowledge and practical tools that are immediately applicable in real coaching scenarios.
What truly set this program apart was the warmth and competence of the course's founder and facilitator - Lux Hettiyadura. Her deep understanding of this coaching niche, combined with a compassionate and approachable style and genuine care for all participants, created a supportive environment where I felt comfortable learning and growing. She broke down complex concepts in a clear and accessible way, making the study material both engaging and actionable.
This program has equipped me with the skills and confidence I need to succeed as a parental coach. If you’re looking to enter this field, I highly recommend it.
My experience with the CADP training has resulted in wonderful growth. I have expanded my bandwidth as a coach. Lux’s naturally calming presence makes you feel instantly comfortable to participate. Her array of knowledge and skills allowed me to enhance my own coaching presence and impact. My input was always welcomed and listened to. I have learned so much from Lux during the CADP training and have been able to clarify and apply my passion for helping parents, children, and adolescents to develop and thrive in their relationships and lives.
The CADP program truly helped me realize that I have the potential to coach and make a difference. It equipped me with the tools to connect with people, actively listen, and empower clients to unlock their full potential. Acquiring such a powerful skill is truly transformative! This journey is ideal for someone who believes that children are capable of being their own leaders and change-makers and wants the skills to enable this to happen.
My journey began when I realized that my corporate career wasn't fulfilling enough. I yearned to make a difference in people's lives and have a meaningful impact. Looking around, I noticed many families and children struggling with the changes that life throws at them. I discovered that I could make the most significant impact by coaching children/adolescents and their parents. Ignite Global exceeded all expectations and checked all the boxes. There was a good balance of theory and practical aspects, and it was ICF accredited, which is very important!
Lux is the best trainer I could have asked for. We had an immediate connection, and I felt I could approach her with any questions or concerns I may have had. She consistently gave 110% in classes and made a conscious effort to include everyone's opinions and thoughts.
As a teacher, I had been searching for an alternative career path for a while. Then, one day on Facebook, I stumbled upon an advertisement for the Child/Adolescent Development and Parenting Coach course. That was my "aha" moment, the realization that my dream of finding plan B had come true, and my future looks bright!
Under Lux's guidance, this course ignited a desire within me to seek more from life and make a greater impact on younger generations. Supporting children and adolescents in discovering their limits and passions has always been my goal. The course organized by Ignite Global opened my eyes to the importance of understanding not only my own childhood but also that of our children and ourselves as grown-ups.
Lux, thank you for transferring your passion into my heart. I appreciate your role in helping me develop and grow as a passionate educator and coach!
A decade ago, I embraced motherhood for the first time, and it has since become my life's compass. Parenthood, to me, represents an opportunity to shape a better future and create the positive change we aspire to see—a form of sacred spiritual activism. When I discovered the ICF-certified course offered by Ignite Global, I was thrilled. Although I had been familiar with ICF for many years, this was the first time I encountered a program tailored to this specific niche.
The prospect of taking my passion to the next level by working with parents and children excited me. Lux, our trainer, proved to be the most thoughtful, empathetic, and compassionate guide, making our sessions thoroughly enjoyable. This training program is suitable for anyone aspiring to use coaching techniques to make a positive difference in the lives of children, adolescents, or parents, contributing to a better future for everyone.
As a solo parent by choice to a three-year-old, I often felt overwhelmed and was very hard on myself, feeling that I had to do everything myself. It was important to me to parent in an intentional way and to use positive language when talking about my son's conception using an unknown donor. Working with Lux has been a game-changer for me. Our sessions spanned six months and helped me to deal with the end of our breastfeeding journey, discuss my future plans to have a second baby, and challenge beliefs about parenting that had been passed down to me from my own childhood. She provided me with strategies that were not only practical but also tailored to my unique situation. Thanks to her guidance, I now feel more confident and empowered as a parent. I'm so grateful for her support and highly recommend her, not only for other solo parents navigating the early years but to parents in all situations.
Lux is a coach that not only genuinely cares about her clients but wants to impart all the knowledge she has acquired so that they too can attain excellence. I recently had the opportunity to attend a session with her on a personal level, which had a profound effect on me as she was able to go deep to resolve some issues that need to be dealt with. She is a breath of fresh air as her bubble personality is contagious, but her gentle nature, kindness, and love for others bring out the best in them and provide a safe space to express and explore their true potential and authentic selves. Her intuitive listening skills guide and provide the clarity we seek. I feel blessed to have met Lux and will definitely continue to work with her as she stands out from the crowd.
This was one of the best programs I participated in and was very transformative as well as nourishing and enriching at the same time, I not only learned but unlearned so much as we worked together with Lux. It has not just changed me as a mother but also has connected me to my higher self where I see and perceive things so differently. Thank you Lux for your wonderful support. You are a blessing to me!!
