ADHD Coaching for Children
For younger children with ADHD, coaching focuses on managing emotions, improving focus, and building positive behaviors. We work on developing healthy habits in areas like time management, impulse control, and organization, all while involving parents in reinforcing the skills learned.
45-Minute Session: $160 | 90-Minute Session: $275
Coaching younger children with ADHD requires a unique, age-appropriate approach that focuses on developing positive behaviors, managing impulses, and increasing attention span. ADHD Coaching for Children helps kids understand their ADHD and provides strategies for improving their daily functioning.
Focus & Attention: Through fun activities and games, we teach children how to maintain focus for short periods and how to transition between tasks.
Emotional Regulation: We help children learn how to control impulses and express themselves appropriately.
Parent Involvement: Parents play an important role in reinforcing the strategies at home, and we work with parents to develop routines and behavior management systems.
Skill Development: Children will also learn important life skills such as problem-solving, time management, and how to handle mistakes in a healthy way.
Our child coaching sessions focus on helping children build a foundation of skills that will serve them throughout life, at home, and in school.
ADHD Coaching for Children: Empowering Young Minds to Thrive
ADHD can be especially challenging for young children who are still developing the skills needed to navigate their emotions, relationships, and academic responsibilities. For children with ADHD, managing focus, emotional impulses, and behaviors at school or at home can feel overwhelming. As parents, it can be difficult to know where to begin in supporting your child’s development.
At My Cognitive Connection, we offer ADHD Coaching for Children designed to provide young kids with the tools they need to manage their ADHD symptoms in a positive, empowering way. Our approach focuses on building essential life skills, improving focus, and enhancing emotional regulation in a fun, engaging, and age-appropriate manner. By involving parents in the coaching process, we ensure that the strategies learned in sessions are reinforced consistently at home, promoting a holistic approach to your child’s development.
What You’ll Gain from ADHD Coaching for Children
Our child-centered ADHD coaching focuses on addressing the unique challenges children with ADHD face while helping them build the foundation for lifelong success. The goal is to improve attention, manage emotions, and encourage positive behavior through targeted interventions, games, and fun activities that make learning enjoyable for kids.
1. Focus & Attention: Developing the Ability to Stay Engaged
One of the most significant challenges for children with ADHD is maintaining attention, whether it's staying focused on school tasks, family activities, or even simple conversations. Through ADHD Coaching for Children, we help kids practice focusing in a way that fits their developmental needs, allowing them to stay engaged without feeling overwhelmed.
What We Do:
Fun focus-building activities: Using interactive games, visual reminders, and short attention exercises, we help children practice staying engaged in one activity at a time.
Task transition strategies: Many children with ADHD struggle with moving from one task to another. We teach them ways to transition smoothly between activities to avoid frustration and confusion.
Short attention span exercises: By gradually increasing the time spent on focused activities, we help children build the ability to sustain attention for longer periods.
By improving their attention span and ability to focus, children will be able to engage more fully in classroom learning, homework, and everyday activities.
2. Emotional Regulation: Learning to Manage Impulses
Children with ADHD can have difficulty managing their emotions and controlling impulsive behavior, especially when faced with frustration, disappointment, or excitement. Our coaching program helps kids understand their emotional reactions and develop strategies for emotional regulation.
What We Do:
Impulse control exercises: Through role-playing, deep breathing exercises, and mindfulness techniques, we help children learn how to pause before acting impulsively and choose more thoughtful responses.
Emotional identification: We teach children to identify and name their emotions so they can recognize when they’re feeling upset, angry, or anxious, and apply calming strategies.
Positive reinforcement: When children successfully manage their impulses, we celebrate their achievements and reinforce their progress with praise and rewards.
As children gain better emotional control, they will experience fewer outbursts, improved relationships with peers and teachers, and more stable emotional well-being.
3. Parent Involvement: Partnering with Parents for Consistency
A key aspect of ADHD Coaching for Children is involving parents in the process. Parents are the key to reinforcing the skills learned during sessions and ensuring that strategies are applied consistently at home, school, and in social settings. We work closely with parents to ensure that they are equipped with the tools to support their child’s growth.
What We Do:
Parental guidance: We provide parents with effective strategies to manage challenging behaviors at home and maintain consistency in applying the techniques learned during coaching.
Creating family routines: We work with parents to develop daily and weekly routines that support their child’s ADHD management, such as designated homework time, bedtime schedules, and family activities that encourage focus and positive behavior.
Behavior management systems: We teach parents how to set clear expectations, create positive reinforcement systems, and address behavioral challenges in a constructive way.
When parents are actively involved in the coaching process, children are more likely to internalize the strategies and apply them consistently, leading to more effective results.
4. Skill Development: Building Core Life Skills
In addition to improving focus and emotional regulation, children with ADHD benefit from developing critical life skills that will serve them throughout their lives. These skills include time management, problem-solving, and learning how to handle mistakes in a healthy way.
What We Do:
Problem-solving techniques: We teach children how to break down challenges into manageable steps, fostering a sense of accomplishment and developing resilience in the face of setbacks.
Time management strategies: Children learn how to break down tasks into smaller steps and how to use timers and reminders to stay on track with their schoolwork and activities.
Healthy coping strategies for mistakes: Mistakes are part of growing up, and our coaching helps children understand that mistakes are learning opportunities. We teach children how to approach challenges with a positive mindset and resilience.
By helping children develop these foundational life skills, we equip them with the tools they need to navigate their world confidently and successfully.
