Teen Coaching?

     Teen Coaching works very well when a teenager from 12 to 18 is not focusing their attention or rebelling against society. Although in years back, parents and grandparents were available more than they are today, society has changed so much. Life is complicated and teenagers grow up so quickly.

     Most coaches do not work with Teenagers. Most Life Coaches feel they are not ready to make a commitment to improve their life. I enjoy working with young people who have not made up their life because they do not know what options are available to them. I especially like to teach teenagers about how fantastic life really is. When I hear about parents fighting with their teenagers, I wonder what happened, where did the communication breakdown.

     Sure, peer pressure has a big impact, but peer pressure is not always bad, if your child has a good friend, the peer pressure can be turned into motivation. Coaching a teenager is unique, unlike with adults where the success rate is about 95%, teen coaching is only 80% effective, although the 80% claim to have made profound improvements.

     In order for me to accept a teen coaching client, the parents must sign a waver and acknowledge that they will participate in the coaching process. It is not all one sided, parenting is not an exact science and sometimes the parents must change the way they are handling situations with their children.

     The teen coaching program is very similar to the adult version, except where the adult version has a chapter on career, the teen coaching workbook has a chapter on schooling.
