I am an Educational Expert, Author & Coach. I run an Educational Services Agency (jenshirley.com) that helps parents support their struggling kids - outside of school. I also educate school leaders & teachers without all the BS. I put practical tools ahead of theory. I put relationships ahead of curriculum. My areas of expertise: Parent Coaching, Executive Function, Emotional Regulation & Behavior. I love figuring out the "why" some kids struggle. I believe in building the Building Blocks of Learning - before we touch anything academic. I live in Ottawa, Canada - with my husband Todd.
