Become A Life Coach (Or Become A Parenting Coach), Who Teaches Parents How To Help Their Kids Set Goals

January 7, 2010 by Jeffrey T. Sooey 1 Comment

(or become a life coach) that helps parents teach their kids to be goal setters. When you become a parenting coach, your purpose is to help parents help their children. Part of this must include goal-setting.

All parents want their children to have successful lives. When you become a life coach, you know that helping your clients set goals is fundamental to their success. This is because most adults don’t understand how to set goals and achieve them. How do you become a parenting coach that helps parents learn how to teach their children goal setting? There are three steps to helping young children start setting and achieving goals.

Become A Life Coach: Become A Parenting Coach That Teaches Parents The ABC’s of Goal Setting For Kids

.

You are able to become a life coach when you can help people get results in their lives. If that’s the case, when are you able to become a parenting coach? When you can teach parents that goal setting for kids is like the ABC’s. The ABC’s of goal setting for kids is the formula “GSA”: Goal, Strategy, Action.

The Secret To Become A Life Coach (Or Become A Parenting Coach) That Gets Results Is “Goal, Strategy, Action”

.

The formula to become a life coach, or to become a parenting coach, that makes goal setting simple is “goal, strategy, action:”

  • Goal: Ask, what does your client, or the child, want?
  • Strategy: Develop a strategy to get it.
  • Action: Take massive action on a daily basis!

Here’s an example of how this might work:

One parent I know named Debbie had a 10-year-old son. Her son wanted a video game. He was clear on what he wanted (goal), and he asked Debbie to buy the game for him. She wanted to use his goal as an opportunity teach him a valuable lesson, so she had him develop a strategy to purchase the game partly from money he earned. The game was on sale at a certain price, on a certain day. Debbie asked her son what he could do (strategy) to create the money for half of the price of the game and she would pay the rest.

He determined he could wash the car, and he could cut his neighbor’s grass. Just as anyone who wanted to become a life coach would do, he immediately took massive action! First, he washed the car. Then he knocked on all his neighbor’s doors and received permission to cut their grass. Debbie’s son was able to create the money (and get to the store just in time) to get the game he wanted.

Imagine how powerful it would be to become a life coach or become a parenting coach who could make goal setting and achieving so simple. Imagine how valuable it would be to teach these powerful principles to parents. You will feel great knowing you had a part in changing the lives of children, and parents, all over the world!

    I couldn’t agree more, it is important to understand the value of gsa at an early age. When children absorbed this concept it is easier for them to be more responsible and act like an adult at an early age.
