Life coaching builds skills and awareness, helping children and young people to understand themselves better, identify issues of concern or goals they wish to reach, and develop methods for managing their emotions and improving their life situation. Although some life events and problems may be permanent or unchanging, such as parent’s divorcing, life coaching can help a child to change their response to the situation. The situation may remain the same, but the method for managing it becomes more appropriate and resourceful, thus improving the child’s social and emotional well-being and creating a more positive outlook and outcome.
