What is, What could be, and the Road Forward

A Coaching Model By Rob Street

It will be critical to keep the child grounded on the ‘Road Forward.’ Adults are accustomed to children providing the “right” answer. It should be obvious that the child, not the adult, has the correct answer. For younger children, an adult may have to judge what the child is capable of, but for older children, the decision must be made by the child. Instead of pressuring the child to make the plan robust, this idea is a crucial time to remain neutral, expressing neither support nor resistance to the child’s proposal.

Child Coaching – How Can Coaching Impact Children?

A Research Paper By Rob Street

The concept of Child Coaching (and tutoring in general) is not well understood throughout the community. A quick search reveals many people offering ‘coaching’ services, which are firmly in area 1, training executive or academic skills. This fact is not what I consider authentic coaching, and will not be discussed here. Almost all researchers agree that Child Coaching is effective. This is because this approach allows the child to be exposed to his or her limiting beliefs, which in turn opens the door to possible changes that may not have existed before. As well, the coaching approach is likely to spill over to any similar challenges the child faces in the future – having overcome one already, there is more chance of doing so again.

Grow vs. Status Quo

A Coaching Power Tool By Rob Street

The purpose of the Grow vs. Status Quo power tool is to assist the client in repositioning themselves. They’re probably stuck in an ineffective state of thinking, i.e., the fixed mindset. If they can effectively get out of this status quo and get into a place where growth is conceivable, there may be some type of success (hence, a positive experience). This is likely to be difficult for learners because these limiting beliefs are often very ingrained. Adults, for example, are frantic to explain to me why they are poor at arithmetic despite not having studied it in decades.
