I'm Jessica
Morine.
hey there!
I often have a hard time with where to start when someone says, “Tell me about yourself.” My first thought is that whatever you say first implies your identity. The truth is, I am like everyone, layered and all the layers are important and valid.
I am a creative, outgoing, active, and driven woman. I am a mother to two dynamic young children and a partner to an amazing man.
I started my journey with children and families as an Early Childhood Educator in 2006. I have been working with children and families in a variety of roles since that time.
I am passionate about my work in supporting the overall development of young children and working in partnership with families. and my role in supporting that.
My career has included working directly with children and families, supporting educators, families and other professionals in their work by developing strategies for professional growth and the provision on on-going mentoring. I am well versed in developmental theory and have many years practical experience with children of a variety of ages and abilities. I believe that if we collectively understood a little more and treated children differently it would have a profound effect on sustainable change in the world.
As your parent coach, I will help you navigate the sometimes unpredictable nature of young children. What is typical? Is this a stage? Is this behaviour something to worry about? Can it be fixed? We all have worries about our parenting. We will explore your specific situation and build strategies to navigate those situations with confidence.
Raising children is tough and important work. It’s easy to feel defeated when challenges arise. I am here to rally the team and coach you through the rest of the game! Your success means as much to me as they do you, and I am appreciative of being part of your entire process.
Why choose a parent coach?
There are times when families may need additional support. Parent coaching offers professional support and guidance in such times. The parenting journey is the toughest one you’ll ever be on because it means so much to you and is always changing! I know you want the best for your child and want them to grow into a good citizen of the world. With my knowledge of childhood and brain development, I offer a unique research-based perspective on parenting challenges. Let me help you parent from a place of understanding and connection versus a place of frustration and confusion.
No magic tricks, no rigid plans. I will help you understand how to connect your children’s behaviour to their thoughts and feelings so we can build strategies together to navigate those moments with a positive outcome for everyone. I am able to help you build your parenting tool kit so you have the right tools for the job!. I support strong connections in families, and confident, capable children.
