Adventures in Wisdom About
We all want our kids to be happy and to walk in the world with their head held high – the question is,how we help them get that?
It doesn’t matter how much we love our children, we can’t give them self-esteem, self-confidence, or success in life. But what we can do is help them to develop it in themselves!
The Adventures in Wisdom Life Coaching for KidsTM Curriculum is a fun, story-based program that gives step-by-step tools for helping kids develop powerful mindset skills to handle the ups and downs of growing up; to think for themselves and make good decisions; and to go for their dreams and make them happen. All kids should see their greatness and learn how to create an extraordinary life!
What the Experts Say...
According to Renaye Thornborrow, “Founder of Adventures in Wisdom, a company that has certified hundreds of child life coaches in over 30 countries since 2013. “When parents see a change in their child, they often think that counseling is the only answer. Most parents aren’t aware that life coaching for kids is available and can often be the best solution if their child isn’t in crisis.
“Parents need to know that there are resources to support their children across the mental health continuum,” shared Thornborrow. “Life coaching for kids helps with prevention by helping children develop mindset skills for resilience, self-esteem, confidence, self-leadership, achievement, happiness and more so that they can manage the ups and downs of growing up, reach their fullest potential, and thrive in life. These mindset skills are a critical part of social emotional learning and mental wellness for our children.”
U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy discussed the struggle that parents across the country are having with getting help for their children in his panel discussion within “The Kids are not Alright - the Decline of Mental Health Among Youth” presented at the American Psychological Association 2022 conference. He said, “I think one of the hardest things as parents is to see your child struggling and to not know what to do about it…They can't get appointments to see mental health providers, even when they do get an appointment, it’s 6, 7, 8 months away… I can't think of a pain worse for a parent than to see your child struggling and to feel like you can't get them the help they need.”
