Hosting life coaching workshops for kids is one of the most powerful and fun ways to empower young minds and expand your impact as a coach or educator.
Whether you’re a certified life coach, a teacher, or simply someone who’s passionate about helping kids grow, workshops are a fantastic way to teach essential mindset skills in a setting that’s upbeat, interactive, and full of energy.
We’ve created an inspiring guide packed with creative ideas to help you plan, promote, and deliver powerful workshops that light kids up from the inside out. These are the kinds of experiences that leave parents raving and children beaming with confidence!
Why Life Coaching Workshops for Kids Work
One-on-one coaching sessions are amazing for deep, individualized support. Kids get personalized support and hands-on practice that helps them grow in real time. But when you bring kids together in a group setting, the magic multiplies!
Group workshops create a lively, engaging space where kids learn with and from each other, all while having a blast.
Even better? You can support more children at once—perfect for school holidays, summer breaks, or themed events.
Workshops are ideal for teaching core mindset skills like:
✅ Confidence and self-esteem
✅ Resilience and emotional regulation
✅ Goal setting and vision planning
✅ Self-leadership and handling peer pressure
When done right, workshops create lasting ripple effects—giving kids tools they’ll carry with them for life.
Workshop Formats That Work
Your workshops can be as creative as you are! Here are a few popular formats:
🗓 One-day intensives – Perfect for school breaks or special events
📅 Weekly series – Build skills and connections over time
🏕 Mini-camps – Run multi-day sessions during holidays or summer
🏫 After-school programs – Partner with schools, libraries, or community centers
In addition to hosting your own events, you can also partner with other children’s programs or camps to deliver a mindset skills segment—bringing even more value to families and expanding your reach.
And don’t forget to mix in stories, role-play, journaling, movement, crafts, and even music. Kids learn best when they’re engaged emotionally, mentally, and physically. Keep it fun, and they’ll keep coming back!
