Inspiring Students to  Greatness!

Youth coaching is a branch of life coaching. It is designed to encourage personal development in young people while providing an outlet for their stresses and anxieties.

 

What you should consider:

 

Sometimes young people can feel like they are stuck on a never ending rollercoaster. The expectations they have on themselves, as well as the pressures of fitting in, growing up and planning a future can make it hard for them to cope. As a parent, you probably worry about your teenage child. You may wonder if they are happy and hope they are doing well at school.

You take comfort in the idea of them having a nice group of friends to support them through the journey. But what if they don't, what if they feel alone or isolated?

 

Being a parent can be difficult, as sometimes despite your worry, teenagers simply do not want to discuss their personal lives. After all, they are trying to break free and grow up, while a part of you wants to hold on. Young people have every right to keep secrets, but as a parent this can be very distressing. If you want your child to receive support, yet believe that you are not the right person to give it to them, one solution can be to invest in a life coach.

 

 

 

Why a life Coach?

The transition between childhood and adulthood is fuelled with hormone imbalances, mood swings, heart break and bewildering bodily changes. All of these make everyday problems all the more scary and taxing. Young people going through stress may repress their emotions; their behavior may start to change, or they may begin to isolate as it becomes more overwhelming. However, they may not feel confident enough to discuss their issues with their parents. This is where I can help – As a life coach I do not aim to stand in place of a parent, but as a teacher and confidant. I am here to offer impartial, trustworthy support without any judgement. As  coach I can give a young person the chance to vent freely and confidentially about anything they want. This may include school and family life, friends, sexual issues or anything else that happens to be on their mind.

 

 

 

 

What are the next steps?   

It is important to first discuss with your child their options and find out if they would like to consider visiting a life coach. If your child agrees, the next step is to schedule an initial 30 meeting. After attending an initial meeting, your teenager will be invited to attend a series of sessions. Sessions will last between 60-minutes to 90-minutes. During the sessions, the youth coach will ask a selection of questions to get an idea of where any problems lie, establish what kind of attitudes and values your child holds and work out what actions are needed for them to move forward.

Coaching has a great many benefits from the perspective of a parent. There are many things a young person feels they need to know and achieve by the time they are leaving school. You may hear your child say, “Everyone expects me to...” or “I should do this...” rather than “I want to...”. This stage of life can be a balancing act, young people are learning who they are, as well as trying to make friends, family and teachers happy. Talking with a coach can help a young person say, “I really want to do this” confidently, and with inspiration.

The fact is that some teenagers believe certain parts of their lives need to be secret ,and cannot be shared with their parents. We know this can be difficult to accept. as time moves quickly and suddenly your small, innocent child is grown up and wants to discover the world. They want to explore their changing bodies, experimenting everything that life has to offer. You can’t control the things they may encounter and you may know that part of your role as a parent is to stand back and let them learn on their own. What you can do as a parent is to ensure there are enough measures put in place to give them the best chance possible.

 

 

Benefits: Booking your teenager into a series of coaching sessions will benefit you in the following ways:

  1. A youth coach can approach any subject your child feels unable to talk about with you, such as sexuality, body-image issues and sex. Even though you may not be able to help them personally, you can rest easy knowing they have someone compassionate and professional to talk with.

  2. Coaching will help your child develop mature ways to deal with conflict, stress and anger, which could potentially make family life easier.

  3. I will help your child to better understand the emotions they are experiencing and how to manage them. (When a child appears to lash out or react aggressively, they may be battling feelings of worry or fear.)

  4. Youth coaching helps young people understand and control their confused emotions, encouraging an easier parent-child relationship.
