Children respond to coaching because it encourages them to confront their behavioural problems, to explain and to expand on their wants, goals and ambitions. Sessions will help them develop as a whole and to move forward to the next stage of their lives. As a parent, consider the difference it might have made to your life if people had listened to your thoughts, desires, beliefs and ideas at an early age.

Age 5-10 Years

Sessions are all about ‘blue sky thinking’ with no boundaries and no negative thoughts! It’s about imagining you can be and do whatever you want and doing it. A range of techniques are used to achieve this – mind maps, spider diagrams, visualisation, pictures and colours, likes and dislikes.

Sessions allow the child to be creative and free with their thoughts and ideas and these processes allow problems and unwanted situations to come to light. Through the use of positive reinforcement such as stories, words, ideas and your child’s open mind life changes can be implemented.

Your child’s challenges (behaviour patterns, poor concentration, poor communication etc) can be removed and replaced by a positive set of thought processes and mind tools to help your child to move forward. Painting a clear picture of how an action will have a consequence helps a young child to identify the way forward.

It is sometimes necessary to show a young child another way to express their thoughts, feelings and ideas and coaching allows this expression using a range of non invasive techniques. Parents will come to understand that a child’s brain is a ‘success mechanism’ which means that it feeds on success and an adult’s assumptions, expectations and celebrations of that success. A simple positive response will give a child the ability to succeed.

About the Sessions

Coaching is undertaken either at your home or at my clinic in Littleport.
Sessions will need to be regular and at a scheduled time.
Either parent or both parents can be present during sessions as silent observers. 
If a child is not comfortable enough to open up in front of their parents another relative or friend can be present.
Sessions last just 30 minutes. Parents receive feedback from written reports, exercises completed by your child, through discussions with myself and through real recognisable improvement of course!
