In this episode, we break down what coaching is for kids—and what it is not. You’ll learn how coaching differs from therapy, when it makes sense as a standalone support, and how it can work alongside counseling. We explore the science behind coaching-related skills like self-regulation, resilience, and goal-setting, and why a non-judgmental, low-pressure space can help kids thrive instead of just survive.

What You’ll Learn:

• The key differences between coaching and therapy
• Why coaching is future-focused and skill-based
• How coaching supports kids who don’t need clinical treatment
• When coaching complements counseling instead of replacing it
• Why a safe, non-judgmental space reduces resistance and pressure
• How weekly coaching builds confidence, clarity, and follow-through
• What research says about self-regulation, resilience, and youth development

Research & Evidence Discussed:

• Self-regulation interventions linked to improved academic, behavioral, and health outcomes
• Resilience-building programs improving youth mental health and coping
• Social and emotional learning research showing gains in confidence, decision-making, and performance
• Professional distinctions between coaching and psychotherapy

Who This Episode Is For:

• Parents whose child feels stressed, stuck, or unmotivated
• Families who don’t feel therapy is necessary but want support
• Parents with a child already in counseling who want practical, skill-based reinforcement
• Caregivers of strong-willed or independent kids who resist pressure

Key Takeaway:

Coaching is not about fixing kids—it’s about equipping them. It offers structure without labels, support without pressure, and growth without judgment.
