Sheema's Story
I became a bonus mom of four wonderful children when I married my husband. When I became a mother, I thought I knew everything there was to being a mom and with my arsenal of tools, skills and knowledge from my social work experience--I was gonna be a "perfect mother". I quickly learned that my expectation of perfection was the farthest from the truth. My parenting journey was challenging at times but rewarding for the most part. But it wasn't until my son became a kindergartner when parenting began to get a little more challenging for me. My son was rambunctious at best but when the calls & notes started to come from the school about his lack of attention, disruptive behavior, etc., I knew I had my work cut out for me. I remember being called to the school on one occasion because apparently my son was the "ring leader" of a kindergarten classroom takeover :). When I arrived unannounced after one of my calls, not only was the entire classroom out of control but my son was standing on top of a table dancing a jig. This was the beginning of many interventions, behavior modification charts, teacher meetings and undying advocacy! This lived-experience was the reason why I started my own company, coaching and consulting parents to help them navigate difficult systems to help stabilize their families. I realized that if it was this difficult to navigate these systems and get the help you needed for your child for an experienced social worker like myself, then other parents and families are in serious need. As a parent who experienced my own challenges with a child with challenging behaviors, it was important to help & support other parents struggling with the same issues. Through my parenting classes and individual parent coaching services, I have helped families learn new skills and strategies to create a positive and safe home environment. As a dedicated wife and mother I focused my time and energy on raising my children and fostering positive family relationships, personally and professionally. As a mompreneur, I owned a baking business and a group home daycare business for years before deciding to utilize the knowledge and skills I developed during my many years in the social work industry to help families create safe and nurturing home environments.
