Coaching doesn’t require a formal diagnosis. This is great news for kids who don’t suffer from severe trauma or psychological issues but are relatively emotionally healthy and in need of assistance. Many children and teenagers are resistant to therapy because of social stigma.

Coaching doesn’t carry the same sort of emotional weight for kids. When children, and particularly adolescents, don’t feel that the sort of help they are receiving is labeling them as deficient in some way, they are more likely to comply and even enjoy their sessions.
