Tips and decision-making aids for choosing an apprenticeship

Some people may wonder why children or teenagers seek coaching. There are various reasons why a child or teenager may seek help from a child or youth coach. Some of the main reasons include the following:

  • Concentration or learning difficulties at school
  • Relationship problems in the social environment (friends, family)
  • Behavioral problems
  • Weak self-confidence
  • Perplexity and uncertainty regarding career choices
  • and much more.

The first quality that a child or youth coach should have is the ability to listen. It is very important for adolescents to feel that they are taken seriously so that their trust in another person can grow. In coaching for young people, finding an identity and choosing a career are important topics. The young people are supported by the coaches in their self-exploration and self-discovery. In coaching for young people, coaches often use more creative coaching methods than in conventional coaching sessions for adults. Painting therapy or other similar forms of therapy are often very popular and lead to great success.

There are numerous interesting diploma courses, which are also recognized throughout Europe. Further information, interesting guides and direct contact options for schools can be found at Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch - your largest Swiss education portal!

"Becoming a youth coach / children's coach" works through targeted training. There you will not only learn what coaching is, but also what you need to pay particular attention to with children and young people. After the training, you will be well prepared to coach children and young people.

People who already work in the care of children and their parents or parents alone, such as playgroup leaders, father and mother caregivers, professionals from youth welfare, child psychiatry or all other professionals working in a social, medical, educational or therapeutic field, have various opportunities to further their education in care, coaching and training for parents. Depending on the educational institution, different courses are offered, for example in systemic parent coaching, which includes attachment, development and conflict theories, Marte Meo, hypnosystemic counseling, family psychology, non-violent resistance and parental presence.
