Life coaching helps children build the skills they need to succeed in a mentally challenging world. Just like an athletic coach can help an athlete strengthen their body and sharpen their skills, a life coach can help a child strengthen themselves to win at life.
Throughout the world, there is a real struggle to mentally strengthen children, and we see the consequences every day. According to the World Health Organization:
Globally, one in seven 10-19-year-olds experiences a mental disorder, accounting for 13% of the global burden of disease in this age group.
Depression, anxiety, and behavioral disorders are among the leading causes of illness and disability among adolescents.
Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death among 15-29 year-olds.
The consequences of failing to address adolescent mental health conditions extend to adulthood, impairing both physical and mental health and limiting opportunities to lead fulfilling lives as adults.
Life coaching proactively works with children to gain the knowledge and skills needed to handle all of these challenges and thrive. Rather than wait for problems to appear, life coaches focus on skills that can be used by your child to deal with any situation they face.
Life coaching will allow your child to walk away with the following skills:
Emotional intelligence
Resilient thoughts
Mindfulness
Impulse Control
Growth Mindset
Goal Setting
Confidence
Self Esteem
