What is coaching for children?

​

Khuba Kids is about supporting our children in living their best life.  Gail will help children develop the skills, confidence and ability to thrive in life. When children experience setbacks and disappointments in their lives, most children don’t have the skills to handle them as a result they often get down on themselves or give up.  Another challenge for children is that they often feel like a victim in their lives – their parents tell them what to do, their teachers tell them what to do and even their coaches tell them what to do….they are surrounded by adults telling them what to do.

​

​Coaching with Gail incorporates play, art, drama and a huge dose of intuitive teaching. The rapport developed between the child and Gail is a huge part of their growth and development.   

​

Khuba Kids strives to help children to be more empowered in their own lives so that can handle those ups and downs more effectively. Exploring self-responsibility which helps them to see that they have choices and can actually exert more control over their lives than they may have first imagined.​

​

Why would a child need coaching?

​Coaching is a bridge between parent and child….helping the child to develop the skills necessary to overcome challenges and difficulties.  It helps children develop confidence, resilience and emotional intelligence to cope with life’s ups and downs.  We hope that by working together we can help support our children to reach their fullest potential and create happy fulfilling lives.

​

​The WHO reported that depression is “the predominant cause of illness and disability” for children aged 10 – 19 years old worldwide. (World Health Organisation). Even scarier is that the report found suicide to be the third leading cause of adolescent deaths behind traffic accidents and HIV/AIDS.

Prices & Appointments

​

Sessions usually follow a FREE 15 min consultation with the parents coupled with an initial session to assess a rapport with children. 

​

Sessions are usually 1 hour long and parents are required to stay with their children during sessions, just observing their behaviours and watching and learning as their child grows. Appointments are flexible, especially during term time but I am unable to offer weekend appointments. 

​

Most sessions will be in our very comfortable environment on Mill Street in Nantwich, however, the centre is not wheelchair-user friendly at the moment, so in this case, I am happy to come to you in the local area (15-mile radius of Nantwich).
