Private Life coaches for children?
-
Hello everyone,
I hire a life coach for my children.... Does anyone else do the same? As it turns out, my children have started to change in different aspects, not perfect of course, but they are much happier and driven now.. Want to share some your experiences?
-
You can share your experience with florastreet. She also engaged a life coach. I wonder whether you are florastreet because your sentence construction sounds like hers.
-
Thank you for the information, but I do not know her and now I do. Good day!

Why don't you share your experience so that for those of us who don't, perhaps we can get some \"enlightenment\" and may perhaps do so?

Okay, let’s start… We all, have, only but one lifetime so why wait until they are 40 and still be miserable? We grew up knowing nothing but thrown out to the world to figure out the complications of life. Isn’t it better to give them a head start in life? Why let them develop bad habits? Isn’t it better to help them develop powerful ones instead? Children who learn to manage their emotions and interact well with others can be happy from the very beginning and lead a successful and fulfilling life. Give my child the chance of a lifetime, so this is what is all about. All deserve a shot, yes?
Private coaching covers different aspects: health, attitude, life, relationships, school (bullies, ‘groupies’ etc…) life. We, as a family usually have our set of family culture that is pretty much fixed and children like sponges adopt and settle comfortably… Not realizing it, they are in their comfort zone - I am not saying that ours aren’t good, and we love and always PROVIDE, when challenges come, they will most likely retreat. But who can turn challenges away and face them bravely?, I think everyone needs a hand, a hand to get down to work on the crucial foundation on life, kids are easier to nurture and change, as we grow, we become concrete and stubborn.
All in all, it includes attitude, positive thinking, goal settling, focus, determination, appreciation, contentment but strive at the same time… it goes on depending on what you want. I chose value over all because I still believe it’s all about attitude. We don’t have much time to rework our lives don’t you agree? The program works with children ad parents… -
What you describe sounds like parenting. Unless the family has more serious issues, surely all this should be done by parents.

JossCruz , that sounds so like advertising. :skeptical:
and please to assume children will turn forty and be miserable , unless thay are helped by an external hired life coach is too much.
Why dont you share what your child was like, what the private life coach did , and how it changed their behaviour/attitude/action- that is sharing experiences.
What you have shared is your opinion of how useless parenting is in general and how great private coaches are. -
I am not firing up a debate here because all I was asking was a share of experience. Perhaps I think there’s so much more than I know so I gave it a shot. I have not mentioned useless parents because neither am I. Like, my husband, he pampers my daughter a lot and protects her very much… When she faces challenges like maths, she becomes dependent, I do try to pull it off but my dd slips out to go her daddy’s side all the time. When I have a session, I have her run no where, sits down and accept training like facing her challenges rather than depending. Clearing her doubts is one thing, meeting challenge is another. It’s not like I can’t do this myself, sometimes as a person, I need reminders to grow as a person and a mother too.
I am working mostly and kids are left at home as they are, sometimes one parent work a way and the other another, it’s between me and my husband, I can’t change him so I asked for help instead, perhaps I feel that there’s much more my children can achieve by having better attitude, in life or academic wise, I just don’t want them to be too comfortable. DD always has mood swing, swinging here and there, uncontrollable. By spending time and working with her, her problems surfaced, so she was highlighted not to be a "most pitiful person in the world", in that way she will always be trapped in her limitations. So, slowly she realized that she don’t blame the world except fixing her own attitude and thinking.
Well, I don’t know about others, this is just a preference, I am not calling all people to hire coaches, if you are happy with what you have, good on all of you! I just wanted to find out who does the same. Cheers! -

Did you have a talk with your husband? i'm just thinking if he continue this way, wont it undo all the good that your DD is getting from the coaching once she is back home, in the comfort zone?I am not firing up a debate here because all I was asking was a share of experience.

I agree with Dreamgear and I also agree with slmkhoo that this is what parents do. I think there must be some parenting course somewhere that you and your husband can attend. Some family counselling maybe? So, instead of your DD learn from a life coach, you and your husband should learn parenting skills. This would be better because your DD spends much more time with you and your family than with life coach. Especially, if you have more than 1 kid, it is cheaper and more effective than engaging a life coach for years.
