Why life coaching for kids/Teens?
"Life Happens FOR us, not to us" -- Tony Robbins
Many youngsters develop limiting beliefs as they grow older and carry them into adulthood without even realizing it. Life's circumstances often dictate how kids see themselves and the world around them, which is usually through a negative lens. Many get down on themselves and think/say things like "I can't do this" or "I am not good enough." Current neuroscience research shows that limiting beliefs can lead to repetitive and unfavorable thought patterns, which produce negative emotions, which generate unwanted behaviors, and ultimately lead to unproductive results in life.
A life coach helps kids grow by analyzing their current situation, identifying limiting beliefs, and helping them overcome challenges by teaching skills and strategies to help achieve the outcomes they want. TKids understands the importance of developing supporting beliefs, which is the key to a child's success, so Mr. K. specializes in breaking through the negative thought patterns to spark an inner drive to meet and eclipse desired results.
