Helping children to find true belonging as a Kids Life Coach
Sometimes we try to hard to fit in. We strive for perfection. We people please. We perform according to other people’s expectations.
The result....
We end up losing ourselves.
I can speak from personal experience as to what it feels like to want to be a biological mom but knowing this will never ever be possible.
I have yearned to participate in “mommy” conversations about pregnancy, teething, breast feeding but I will always be an outsider.
Most of all I will never fully understand what it means to have protective instincts as a parent.
Yet my whole entire life revolves around being an advocate for children’s mental well-being. I feel so strongly and passionately about getting it “right” in childhood purely because I can remain objective.
This vantage point allows me to see the unvarnished truth that parents can fail to see. It doesn’t make me a judge...it doesn’t mean I have all the answers...it doesn’t mean I am always well received.
What it does mean is that my words of advice sometimes fall on deaf ears as most of the time, the truth is not something a parent’s fiercely protective heart is ready to hear.
I will never fit in to the exclusive parenting club but I now know that true belonging means letting go of that.
This doesn’t mean we are lonely...it simply means we are strong enough to stand tall in our own right.
I now truly belong because I have chosen to let go....I feel liberated. This is what Kids Life Coaching is all about.
Helping children find true belonging is about you finding yours first. Only when you are at peace with your own journey and you can use the lessons to share with children can you be a world class Kids Life Coach.
Coaching children is not about "telling them" or "showing them". It is about "sharing space" with them. It is about giving them a safe space to be who they dream to be and supporting them in the steps to get there. True belonging is not in being accepted by others, but the secret is in accepting yourself first.
No matter what may be holding a child back, kids life coaching (when done ethically, responsibly and sustainably) is a viable way to support children to be the leaders of their own life.
Read my SECRET PARENT book that gives you some insights into the hidden truths I have found on life, parenting and childhood through my eyes as a Kids Life Coach.
Sending you lots of zeal as you celebrate your true belonging so that you can help children celebrate theirs.
