Imagine a shy, 12-year-old girl who finds it hard to make new friends, and spends much of her time alone.
That’s how Aditi* was living day-to-day and her mom wanted her to feel more confident and happy.
They turned to WISDOM Coach Sindhu for help, and Sindhu shares what happened next:
Challenge: Why the Mother of a Shy Girl Sought Mindset Coaching
The mother of a 12-year-old girl reached out to me, concerned about her daughter’s low confidence. She was shy, found it hard to make new friends, and often spent time by herself. The mother wanted her to feel more comfortable around peers and believe in herself.
Coaching Solution: The Mindset Skills that WISDOM Coach Chose to Help Shy Girl
I recommended the “Confidence & Courage” coaching package, which included 6 mindset skills from the Adventures in Wisdom Life Coaching for Kids Curriculum:
* How Your Mind Shapes Your World – and What You can do to Shape Your Mind
* Positive Self-Talk – Mastering the Secret Behind Self-esteem and Self-confidence
* Self-Confidence – How to Build Unshakeable Self-confidence
* Self-Esteem – How to Develop Soaring Self-esteem
* Neural Pathways – How to Create Your Path to Success and Create Confidence to do New Things
* Power Shifting – How to Choose Your Power, Even When Things Don’t Go Your Way
Through these sessions, we worked on helping her recognize her inner strengths, manage her thoughts, and step outside her comfort zone with courage.
Results: How a Shy Girl Benefited from Mindset Coaching
We began our sessions during the summer break, and the transformation was visible as soon as the new school year started!
✨ On the first day of school, she walked in with a positive mindset, took initiative, and made two new friends.
✨ At the playground, where she used to keep to herself, she confidently approached a few girls doing gymnastics and joined them — something she had never done before.
✨ She even joined the Theater Club and proudly took part in a play!
✨ During the Parent-Teacher conference, her teacher shared how much she had grown in confidence and participation.
Her parents were amazed to see how a simple session of storytelling and relating it to real life situations can influence the thought process and help us approach situations more positively, handle them better with greater confidence.
Mom’s comment: (she sat in all the classes along with her daughter)
“I would recommend the parent to attend the sessions with their child because Coach Sindhu’s sessions definitely benefits everyone and not just kids.”
