Mind Coach NOLA Makes SOAR’s Top 60 List
“If you’re looking for an ADHD coach for your child, the clearer you and your child are about your goals for coaching, the more likely it is that the effort will be a success.
And the same goes for your own personal goals with coaching, whether you’re seeking coaching for your own goals or to work on aspects of parenting a child with ADHD.
When considering your goals for coaching, it’s important to keep in mind that an ADHD coach isn’t a therapist or a medical expert, but someone trained to help people with ADHD and ADD to live better lives through taking proactive steps to address specific issues.
If you can help your teen identify the issues they want to work on and arrive in your prospective coach’s office ready to discuss action plans for tackling each one, they will already be ahead of the game. You may have issues that you think your teen should tackle through coaching, but remember that your teen is the client, not you, and it’s important that they have an active role in shaping their coaching goals.
Also, keep in mind is that ADHD coaching is very personal.
If you or your child doesn’t click with the coach you’re considering, then the relationship may not be successful. So pay attention to the chemistry between you and your potential coach or your child and the potential coach. If it’s not working, don’t feel bad about walking away and trying someone else.
Just because a coach is a graduate of a top program—or has multiple certifications—doesn’t guarantee that he can help you. Experience and innate ability are more important than formal training and diplomas.
