In today’s edition of our Horizon Video Series, Dean Clayden, Head of Primary Support, Wellington College China, shares some practical coaching tips that you can apply with your child.
Coaching is a highly effective tool that can support the growth and development of both adults and children. It is a collaborative, solution-focused process where the coach facilitates an individual's development by helping unlock their potential. The benefits of coaching in schools are vast and well-documented:
✔
It helps children build self-confidence and self-esteem, crucial for emotional wellbeing and success.
✔
It improves pupils' motivation levels and empowers them to develop as proactive, independent learners.
✔
It assists pupils in making decisions about future careers, helping them explore interests, passions, values and aspirations.
