KIDS | Coaching with Evelina

Coaching for Kids

I teach children life coaching and mindfulness tools through online classes.

Children normally aren’t taught at school how to handle emotions, process external negativity or their own negative self-talk, or how to express their emotions and talk about what’s going on for them. This is what we address in addition to other topics that are relevant to them at this time.

In these classes, we dive deep into emotions, learn how to recognize and process them. I teach them how to increase their awareness and focus, how to grow self-confidence and help them tackle the challenges they are currently facing.

Individual 30-minute sessions are conducted via Zoom, recommended on a weekly basis. These sessions are fun, interactive, and the tools learned during the class get put into practice right away. Contact me for more information.

What the kids say

When I started the course my biggest challenge was time management. During our classes, I learned to recognize how I was feeling. I also learned how to manage my emotions.

I learned breathing techniques that help me concentrate. The classes were very interesting. What surprised me the most was that it wasn’t just theoretical, we got to apply and try out different tools right away. I learned to focus better.

I really liked the classes with Evelina because it gave me a lot of things to think about, and helped me understand the importance of finding positive things.

What I liked the most was talking about emotions. I also began thinking about my goals. I’ve learned different breathing exercises, which have been very helpful when I need to calm myself down.

What the parents say

I’m glad my son had the opportunity to attend these classes. He is very sensitive and often had strong reactions to different circumstances and other people’s behavior. His emotions were very much on the surface and the most common reaction was tears.

Once he started the course, the change in how he reacts to situations that used to cause him frustration became very obvious very quickly. Now he’s dealing with his emotions differently and with much more ease.

My son really enjoyed exploring each coaching tool with a scientist’s curiosity. He was testing how applying the tools he was learning were affecting his emotional state, and I was noticing the difference in his reactions. He became calmer.

The tool where the situation is being evaluated from different perspectives, with neutrality and more distance I find very helpful. Also, learning to notice the positive aspects in seemingly negative or hopeless situations.

I’m happy to know that from such an early age my son has learned how to recognize his emotions and now has many tools to deal with them. I’m certain that over time, using those tools will become a natural skill for him just like riding a bike or swimming.

I look at my child and admire how much stronger he became and how much he’s grown during this course. And how now he’s able to make decisions from a neutral stance, with a different perspective instead of making it in the midst of emotional volcano.

Before he started the course my only fear was for it not to be just a theoretical learning, which would cause boredom and rejection for him. Luckily, the classes were very practical with easily applicable tools. I also really liked the examples and analogies that Evelina used to illustrate different emotions and various coaching techniques.

Those classes were very valuable for me because I was suffering seeing how much pain my son was experiencing reacting to certain situations, feeling unable to help him because I didn’t know how to explain it and teach him how to deal with emotions and process them. Because I wasn’t taught that either.

I’m very grateful to Evelina for offering these classes. I think they should be a part of the curriculum in every school, just like math or arts are.

Thank you, Evelina. [My daughter] enjoyed your sessions and feels that she got a lot out of them. You had great energy on the calls and we appreciate all of the great information that you shared. It was very nice meeting you!

My son is very sensitive, smart, with lots of inner tensions, entering his teenage phase, and not willing to let go of his childhood and comfort. His biggest challenge at the moment is accepting responsibility for himself.

My daughter is very curious, strong, smart and searching for herself. Her biggest challenge is goal setting and achieving her goals.

I was very surprised how engaged and interested in the course my son was. I thought I’d have to convince him and hear his complaints but that didn’t happen. It’s nice to see him daring to start a task he doesn’t want to do using the 15min tool, and seeing how much better he feels to have done it.

My daughter accepted all the information very consciously. She’s still using the tools like the self-coaching model in her daily life, she separates the facts from her thoughts, recognizes emotions.

They learned new tools to evaluate themselves, others, different circumstances and situations from different perspectives.

I believe that the impact of those classes on them will last for a lifetime, and will become even stronger with age and becoming more conscious.

As parents, we want all the best for our kids. I believe teaching awareness and consciousness is one of the most valuable gifts we can give them.

I also find it helpful that I’ve been coached myself as that enables me to talk to the kids in the same language. I had no hesitation to sign them up for the course as I see my own results from coaching. I’m glad they could gain this valuable knowledge.
