Welcome to Sprouting Futures

Hey, I'm Monique!

I'm a farm girl at heart with strong wholesome country values. I've always believed in nurturing our kids not just academically, but in crucial life skills necessary for their futures.

My journey began when I became a mother to our three children and experienced the joy and challenges that come with it. When my kids went to school I began to notice the lack of confidence, time management issues and diminishing creativity in my own kids. Then came the shift to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. I began to focus more on education and less on life skills. I found happiness at home decreased, frustration peaked and stress and emotions for everyone were on constant high. It seemed to amplify challenges and reinforced my need to find solutions that were stress-free and could get us back on track.

Since then I have honed in on my approach through real-life experimentation and research, looking for unique ways to teach these valuable life lessons seamlessly back into our daily life. By leveraging everyday moments as teaching opportunities I found that kids are more receptive when lessons are relevant to them and include no pressure.

My methods revolve around providing practical tips during real life moments. It isn't as easy as it seems, because we know kids have their own timeline for when they are ready to talk or listen and its typically not when we are ready! But by developing some awareness and by slowing down I was able to see moments and seize them as opportunities for learning.

At my core are values such as family, honesty, responsibility and kindness. I believe in celebrating each child's uniqueness and creating an environment where they feel empowered to pursue their dreams.

My mission is not to mold a perfect child, but to nurture confident, compassionate individuals who can thrive in any situation.

While much of our focus is on turning everyday moments into learning opportunities for your kids, it is also to prioritize you—the parent.

My mission is to provide tools and strategies that seamlessly integrate into your life, benefiting both you and your children. Recognizing that every parent is unique—our experiences, challenges, and perspectives all differ. That's why I encourage you to be open to trying new things and to share your journey in the comments. Your story might be the support another parent needs.
