Parent Coaching

For the mother or father who feels disconnected from their child or the school and longs for a more cohesive learning experience between home and classroom; for the parent navigating transitions—whether in the home or in their child’s development—and seeking a way forward; or for the parent who wants to explore their own story more deeply and compassionately in order to pass on wisdom and a rich sense of identity to their child.

Possible services: in-person or virtual reflective coaching, school advocacy, narrative/story work, parent support for home and life

Possible outcomes: deeper connection within yourself, with your child and in your home, presenting concerning behaviour in the child diminished or alleviated, culture-making vs culture-managing, joy and delight instead of overwhelm and despair, cohesiveness and direction between two environments (home/school or two homes), a thriving home culture and routine, and a more robustly supported child who may thrive!

Administrator / Teacher coaching

For leaders who are seeking deeper support in becoming trauma-informed—especially when traditional approaches no longer seem to work— or desiring more nourishment for their communities through simple tools to calm the nervous system and regain connection with the student and calm within the classroom.

Possible services: in-person or virtual reflective coaching, onsite Professional Development sessions, parent nights or coffee mornings, and/or relational cultural work

Possible outcomes: deeper understanding, insight, and support in navigating tricky parent or student contexts, support in bewildering classroom dynamics or student behaviour, more aligned, invigorated teams with less burnout and fatigue, and an enriched and thriving parent community

child/student coaching

For the child (2- 18) who needs to recover a sense of trust and empowerment through play-based, somatic, and arts-based approaches as well as outdoor inquiry to facilitate exploration, wonder, connection, creativity, and healing to then regulate the nervous system and allow for natural flourishing to unfold.

Possible services: meeting 1:1 with the child at school (pull-out), in their home, or in Bird & Babe’s Eastside office location and in tandem with parent coaching

Possible outcomes: deeper critical thought and organization, calmer demeanour, presenting concerning behaviour in the child diminished or alleviated, increased executive brain functioning, inner and outer connections, engaged academics, and more joy, delight, curiosity, and wonder as the child interfaces, engages, and makes meaning with the surrounding world in a more integrated and intelligible way
