What is Life Coaching for Kids –
the WISDOM Coaching® Way?
“Just like an athletic coach helps children develop the skills, confidence, and ability to thrive in their sport, a life coach for kids helps children develop the skills, confidence, and ability to thrive in life.”
– Renaye Thornborrow, Founder of Adventures in Wisdom
As a life coach for kids, you help children develop both the mindset and the skill set they need to thrive.
- Mindset is how children think as they move through life. It shapes their beliefs about who they are and what is possible for themselves.
- Skill set is knowing what actions to take to create the results they want in life.
As a WISDOM Coach®, you are trained and certified to guide children using a proven, story-based coaching curriculum and our step-by-step STORY Coaching Process™. You create a safe and trusted space where children feel heard, valued, and empowered.
In each session, you:
Step 1: Share a Coaching Story – You bring powerful skills to life through coaching stories that capture imagination and help children understand big ideas like confidence, resilience, and self-esteem
Step 2: Have a Conversation – You use child-friendly discussion questions to help children connect the story to their own lives
Step 3: Do an Activity – You lead fun, hands-on activities that let kids practice and apply the skill, so it becomes part of who they are.
As a WISDOM Coach, you don’t just teach children skills, you change the way they see themselves and what’s possible for their lives.
It’s simple. It’s fun. And it’s deeply rewarding for the child, and for you.

How You Help Kids
Strengthen Resilience
Children learn how to navigate the ups and downs of growing up—whether it’s overcoming a mistake, dealing with a challenge, experiencing a disappointment or “failure,” or facing a big change, so that they can pick themselves up again and “go for it” in life.
Build Self-esteem
Children learn how to base their self-esteem on who they are so that how they feel about themselves doesn’t change based on what is happening in their lives or who they are with.
Create Confidence
Children learn how to move through anxiety and fear so that they can stretch outside of their comfort zone, create courage, and go for their dreams with confidence.
Develop Self-leadership
Children learn core values of self-leaders such as choosing integrity and being self-responsible. They learn how to think for themselves and make good decisions so that they can stand up to peer pressure and stay true to their values.
Achieve their goals
Children learn how to create a vision for their lives and achieve their goals so that they can reach their fullest potential.
Be Happy
Children learn that happiness comes from within them and not from the circumstances happening around them. They learn that happiness is only one thought away!

Jack Canfield Endorses WISDOM Coaching
“This [mindset training] is so valuable because we’re not learning that in school…
If you have children, if you have grandchildren, if you’re a teacher, if you’re a coach, if you’re anyone working with children or care about children, I’m sitting here. And I don’t say this very often. I highly recommend what you’re doing. It is so valuable, and it’s so complete. That’s what I love about it and, obviously, really effective.
I’m going to tell every trainer I’ve ever trained – and there’s about 4,000 of them – to go get trained by you and add this to their toolbox!”
