Play Based Coaching to educate, motivate and inspire
Everything that children show in their behaviour tells us a story. Even when your child is faced with challenges or setbacks, they deserve to be the super hero of their own story.
The question is… Do children have a choice to stay children in this ever-changing world that is forcing them to grow up so fast?
Life should be fun and it can be!
We don’t assume that children will magically be able to stand up to bullies, say no to drugs, not contemplate suicide or self harm.
What Play Based Coaching does is bring the joy back into childhood. By giving children a toolkit for a healthy body, heart & mind, we prevent negative life experiences from spiralling out of control. Life should be fun and it can be! That’s the way that we think anyway!
The Kids Life Studio®, has a global network of certified Play Based Coaches to support children to make good choices, overcome obstacles, be confident and motivated.
How can we help?
Research shows that building resilience, increasing confidence and maintaining social relationships are the keys to being able to cope with life.
Life is about challenges, falling down and overcoming setbacks, but if children don’t have support in building their resilience the outcomes could be negative.
This makes us sad, but there is something we can do to help! Yay!
We are proud to say that our global network of Play Based Coaches are experts in empowering children to become the leaders of their own lives.
The Kids Life Studio® offers a safe space either online or in person, where children can find the courage to express themselves in a relaxed environment, as they are encouraged to develop their own “leadership mindset”.
It’s all so easy to do if we support kids before the age of 12! Don’t believe us? Well, that’s about to change! Check out what we believe in…and we hope you agree!
Our beliefs
- We believe – that motivation is a lifelong process and children need coaches to help them set goals that lead to success in life.
- We believe – that our world is an amazing place full of learning opportunities and that by actively embracing this; children can begin to understand their own place in the world.
- We believe – that every child is a leader in their own right and with the correct guidance and encouragement; this can be developed & strengthened.
- We believe – that the sustainability and future of our planet is in the hands of our next generation.
- We believe – that children are thinking, feeling human beings that learn about themselves through play, movement and their senses.
- We believe – that every child should be motivated to read for pleasure and to learn for fun, so that they can become engaged thinkers and life-long learners.
- We believe – creativity is a process of expression, discovery and interaction that equips children with the skills to tackle the world with an open heart and an open mind.
- We believe – children need to be taught the social etiquettes and rules of engagement for responsible technology use, as it is their gateway to understanding and interpreting the future.
- We believe – that by equipping our children with good lifestyle habits this will lead to strong bodies and minds able to tackle the world with energy and vitality.
How does our Play Based Coaching work?
We have been leading the kids life coaching space since 2003. Since then, we have seen many well meaning adult life coaches try to support children with their developmentally inappropriate adult techniques. Kids life coaching is nothing at all like adult life coaching because children think differently and they learn differently, so our Play Based Coaching model allows children to do what they do best….to PLAY and have FUN!
Our collective experience as a global network of Play Based Coaches is vast. With a variety of backgrounds such as teaching, social work, psychology, medical, corporate and coaching, we are able to share our wisdom to engage in best practices for every child. Having designed our Play Based Coaching model, our original founder, has over two decades experience working with children as a special needs teacher, school counsellor, behavioural consultant, clinical child psychologist and kids life coach.
When our organisation pioneered kids life coaching in 2003, there were no suitable coaching programmes designed and aimed specifically at children.
Based on robust research into child development theories, we value these 6 scientific approaches but we ensure they work in correlation rather than in isolation.
The easiest way to describe how our Play Based Coaching Model was developed, is to say that our founder, threw all of her research into a “melting pot” and stirred it all up! The magic formula produced was a simple yet effective way to coach children based on neuroscience and psychology that gets them enjoying life’s challenges with confidence.
The aim of a life coaching is to give children the tools to cope with their challenges before things spiral out of control. Our proven Play Based Coaching Model has been developed with the unique needs of children in mind.
Part of our coaching process is to take a snapshot of what is happening in different areas of a child’s life because we don’t believe in a ‘cookie cutter’ philosophy that doesn’t cater to individual needs.
All of the children that we support are assessed fully so that we can specifically target any areas that may be out of balance. We then take them through our unique 10-step Kids Life Coaching process that lays the foundation for living the life of their dreams.
What comes next?
So you might be wondering how we get “buy-in” from children! Well it’s because our coaching is always in a child friendly Kids Life Studio® space either online or in person. When children share time with us, they learn skills through play which is not only fun, but also empowering!
This means they keep asking to come back for more, so after their initial foundation Play Based Coaching programme, we offer a range of follow up maintenance sessions and workshops that give them the building blocks for developing their “superhero mindset”!
