Junior Coaching Aged 7-11 (Parent & Child Package)

Social
Whether your child is simply facing some challenges socially and not sure how to navigate them, or they've changed class, school or even country, social struggles can really create a lot of unhappiness for some children. We work together to help find ways to navigate peer group dynamics, conversation, healthy friendships and how to communicate emotions, needs and boundaries.

Emotional
Your child may be struggling to manage, regulate or understand their emotions. Through coaching we help to connect the mind and body to better recognise their emotional journey and how emotions move through us. They will also learn to express their emotions in a healthier way and communicate them as well as what they need.

Confidence
It's not always clear what impacts a child's confidence on the surface. We may not be aware of the narratives they're holding in their heads. With Co-Active coaching we're able to help your child explore their beliefs, values and what's really important to them. Ultimately, what gets in the way of those things and prevents them from being able to showcase the amazing child you know them to be. Their confidence grows through trying what they usually might not. We decide on those things together to ensure we steer clear of overwhelm and shutdown.

What To Expect
Following meeting both you and your child, once we start the weekly coaching we'll use our first session to really create the big picture, this is a space for your child to share everything they feel comfortable doing so. This gives us the chance to identify together, the areas that might be really useful for them to focus on in their coaching sessions.

From there, each weekly session whilst we may focus on a variety of scenarios that me or your child brings to the session we will build up a few coaching skills that they can implement and integrate into their day to day. We may build emotional language and resonance, connecting the words to their physical experience. Perhaps build up tools to help support them as and when they need. Sometimes we may even role play to help build their confidence in holding specific conversations. Each session, we check-in, explore, develop and take something away to integrate during the week.
The final session serves as a space to reflect and bring all the learnings together so that your child leaves this short coaching programme aware of their new skillset and tools they have to hand and most importantly, they'll know how to make use of them.

Your Child has 6 coaching sessions of 30 minutes each, and you will have a 35 minute Parent Closing session after their programme is complete.

You are also welcome to book into Parent Coaching sessions alongside your child's coaching for additional support, if you book this whilst your child is in session you will receive a discount on it too.

How to Prepare for the First Session
Spend a little time with your child before their first session, perhaps the day before, discussing what they might like to discuss with their new coach, what they think might be important to share with their coach and also identify what might be challenging about that.
This will set them up for their first session well prepared and a little more open and aware than they otherwise might have been.

I always recommend having a notebook and pens / colouring pencils handy, whether your child likes to draw and talk, or for jotting down important things they want to remember, or for a reflective piece after their coaching session. This might help build a picture for them that may be useful when the coaching is finished as they can record their new tools here too.
