Help your child discover what works for them
Coming soon
Pre-teen coaching is coming soon. Register your interest and I'll let you know as soon as it opens. In the meantime, you can join the waitlist for parent coaching, which works with children of any age and is the best place to start for children under 9.
You see your child's imagination, interests, and capabilities. You also see the moments when getting ready, starting homework, or navigating a friendship feels difficult.
Your child gets someone in their corner who listens and notices what they're good at. Through short conversations and hands-on activities, we work out what makes mornings, homework and friendships hard, and find small steps they actually want to try.
Their ideas matter. Their pace matters. Their progress can look different from someone else's. I'll notice what your child is already doing well, and help them see it and feel proud of it too.
What would your child like to feel more confident doing?
Perhaps they want to get ready with fewer reminders, feel more comfortable asking for help, or finish something they care about. Depending on their interests and readiness, coaching can create opportunities to:
- Discover their strengths and how to use them
- Notice what helps them get started
- Notice what happens when frustration builds
- Practise communicating what they need
- Think through everyday friendship situations
- Experiment with ways to organize belongings and schoolwork
- Build a sense of time through everyday activities
- Take on responsibilities at a manageable pace
What this age asks of your child
Between 9 and 12, children are expected to do more on their own, at school and at home. These skills are still growing in every child, and some need more support to build them, diagnosed or not.
What this age asks of them
Packing their own bag, remembering homework, getting started without help, following instructions with several steps, handling bigger friendships, and getting ready for the move to secondary school.
What can get in the way
Starting tasks, remembering what comes next, and managing frustration when something feels hard. It can look like not trying, when really the skill is still developing.
How coaching helps
Short, practical sessions where your child helps choose the goal. We try small steps, like a simple routine or a way to break homework into pieces, and build on what works, with you closely involved.
