Academic coaching addresses executive function challenges: time management, organization, planning, focus, prioritization, mindsets, emotional regulation, self-advocacy, and other aspects like relationships, motivation, stress, and anxiety.⏰⏳📲

​

Coaching supports students to become self-motivated learners and problem solvers☺

​

Increased healthy self-awareness leads to more intentional choices and responsible independence, which improves confidence, and motivation.

It is important for students to manage their lives beyond academics and be better prepared to transition into life after after high school.

Does your child need support in these areas?🙂

🔑Healthy self-awareness is not about SELF becoming the focus.

Often today we see too much self-focus in an insecure way🥲

Young people are thinking: how should I look, how should I behave so I will be liked, how should I act so I`m accepted? It`s about outside appearances and performance.


🔑We need to be more God-aware and less self-aware in a self-absorbed way

You want your child to know why they do the things they do - recognize their selfish ways, and challenge their thinking and behavior so they choose healthier habits.

🔑Increased healthy self-awareness leads to more intentional choices and responsible independence, which improves confidence, and motivation.

Life coaching challenges students to find solutions, experiment with new strategies to find what works for the individual, set goals and follow through with weekly accountability. 🗓📝

Creating healthy life habits around sleep, exercise and all areas of life is key 💡⏳

My Life Coach 360 | Student Coaching Packages Academic life coaching helps teens, students and young adults with executive function skills, time management, organization, study skills, motivation, procrastination, mindsets, confidence, anxiety, stress, overwhlem, relationships.

Does your child struggle with executive function skills, motivation, task follow through, emotional dis-regulation, and other essential life skills?😉

To develop these brain based skills, your child FIRST needs awareness! 💡

If your child is not aware of what skills they need, or what their struggles are (unconscious incompetence), they will not know how to find solutions or what they are trying to even solve. 🥲

They often think "I`m fine, I have enough time to hand in my work, I know how to do this."

The stages of learning theory explains this very clearly.

🔑When they become more conscious about what their difficulties are, the skills needed and the solutions to overcome these challenges, they move into "conscious competence" because NOW THEY KNOW what to do about what they KNOW they struggle with.

🔑A coach or mentor is crucial in coming alongside students - especially those who have a hard time with task ex*****on - to support them with strategies that help with consistency and accountability.

🔑This leads them into the unconscious competence learning zone where many tasks become "automatic" as they learn new habits/routines that train the brain`s re-wiring system to automatically choose more helpful behaviors.

🔑The most learning takes place in the uncomfortable zone! 😁

🔑When they discover their incompetence (consciously incompetence) it can get a bit messy! 🥲

🔑It`s a hard place to be in but it offers the most learning and growth because this is where the student learns new skills that take them into the consciously competence stage! ☺

Learning new skills are often hard!

🔑Coaching challenges students to be OK with "uncomfortable."

🔑When their brains are stretched and challenged, this is when they grow and learn the most!

Coaching supports students in having a growth mindset and to learn how to move forward through their challenges 😍

Partnering with parents🥰

📍Homeschooling is not "school" as we know it😃
📍It`s not replicating a "system" in your home.
📍It`s not a "one size fits all."
📍It`s not sitting at a desk all day.
📍It`s not filling a child`s head with information (that they will never use again)
📍It`s not confusing their minds with worldly "nonsense"
📍It`s not about grades and ages (therefore there`s no need to compare abilities according to THIS "system of standards" )

✅Homeschooling is freedom education.
✅It`s inspired learning, not required learning
✅It happens in everyday life interactions
✅It`s more about teaching your child according to their own developmental level, (not grades/ages)
✅It`s also about self-discovery as your child is given space for creativity to explore passions and interests
✅It`s about relationships, more than academics
✅You don’t need purchased curriculum or workbooks to teach your child
✅You encourage your child to teach themselves🥰

Our kids want to have more autonomy and they want to feel like they do have a SAY in what they need to do each day or at least, feel heard ⌛️

In my Teen Mentorship 101 class, they get a CHOICE as to what they will be learning about in our 10 weeks together!

In our first session, we brainstorm topics to explore🔑💡


When they suggest topics that are meaningful to them, they are more likely to be engaged and WANT to show up each week!


In a sense, we co-create the coaching program together!!


(Well in a way - ☺️I have all the content and topics prepared because your children have many of the same struggles/concerns/ideas)


Here are a list of potential Topics: (students brainstorm topics)

✅Mastering Mindsets (thought patterns, emotions)

✅Personal Perceptions (personality, strengths, weaknesses, values, character qualities)

✅Systematic Strategies (time management, organization, executive function)

✅Healthy Habits (spiritual-physical-mental health, anxiety, stress, exercise, nutrition, sleep, social media)

✅Tech Tools (Smart intentional usage)

✅Real Relationships (communication, friends, influences)

✅Productive Projects (meaningful projects, business ideas, e-portfolios, websites)

✅Success Skills (skills needed for responsibility & independence)

✅Leadership Laws (volunteering, internships, networking, accountability)


Does this sound like something you would want for your child?🙌🔑


I encourage students to problem solve and find the best solutions that work for them by experimenting with multi-sensory ways of exciting the brain into action! 🎯

Thank you!🤩

Does your child/teen/young adult have executive function challenges?💡

This affects time management, organization, ability to plan & prioritize and many other essential life skills ⏲ 🖥 📚

Adolescents struggle with executive function as the prefrontal cortex of the brain is “under construction” and still developing. These muscles in the brain need to be exercised. 🧠

The more E.F skills are practiced, the better students develop these areas as the brain makes new connections and builds strong neuron pathways.

With practice, time, and repetition, students build good routines, working habits and systems as they work on these areas. 📌 🔑

Would you like a resource on how to break down tasks and estimate time? ⏳Children find it challenging to understand and visualize time in this digital age 📱and these resources will support them with these skills.

How do you get your teen on a schedule or plan ⌛️🗓that THEY WANT TO FOLLOW?😍

Here are two secrets:
✅Let them create what works for them
✅Schedule in the fun things FIRST!


They need to make the planner their OWN, be creative and work with it.

Ownership creates powerful buy in!☺️

Make it visual and exciting!


Remember: You are training them to BE THEIR OWN Executive Function BOSS! 😉


You are also training them to take responsibility for their own learning and actions.

Teens are more likely to follow through with something if they can understand how it will benefit them and their wants.

AND a planner is a way that they DO GET TO HAVE FUN and do what they want.😁
Help them to re-frame!

Decide together what would be best: a paper planner or an digital planner? 🗓

It needs to be what works best for them (not what you are most comfortable with)

What works for YOU probably does NOT work for your teen when it comes to using planners and mastering essential EF skills.

Their brains are wired differently! 🔑
They don’t process information in the same way; they’re not motivated by the same things.

FREE time is just as important (if not more important)

When your teen knows that their "Fun Time" is scheduled, protected and accounted for, they will be more willing to collaborate on OTHER things with you!🥳😳💡

Planners and schedules help your teen "see" what`s expected of them so they are not frustrated when your expectations change (without warning) or not communicated clearly with them.

P.S By the way, I hope you are scheduling in family fun time FIRST! Treat it like you would an important business meeting🥰
