Child Coaching
Christine Walsh
Child coaching is about mindset development. Constellations Child Coaching is here to guide your child in developing confidence, self-esteem, resilience, achievements, happiness, and more.
Holistic coaching is at the core of my philosophy. Children need opportunities to develop executive functioning strategies, social and emotional learning and support, physical movement and exploration, academic skills and enrichment, and windows of experience to find what their spirit aligns with to ensure a future of enthusiasm and motivation. There can always be a joyful approach to engaging children in the process of developing agency, navigating the challenging stages of their journey, and finding their passions and purpose.
I am certified in Special Education, Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, and General Education, as well as a certified Mindfulness Teacher and Kid’s Yoga Teacher. I also have training in Orton-Gillingham reading programs.
I currently teach reading to English Language Learners on Long Island, in addition to my Child Coaching with Constellations. I work for Nassau BOCES Department of Outdoor and Environmental Education in the summers where our science programs focus on social-emotional learning. Being a mother to a seven-year-old boy, who has kept me on my toes the whole time running, has enriched my love of coaching. I have 14 years of public school teaching experience and have taught in Thailand, Tanzania, and Belize, as well as at Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. I have led many Mindfulness Workshops for children, parents, and teachers. Another passion of mine is photography, with Just B. Photography. My varied experience has prepared me with an open mind and heart to reach all children where they are and to guide them toward where they can be.
