Attention Parents and Guardians!

"Empowering Our Youth: Addressing Mental Health Challenges and the Power of Mindset Coaching"

Did you know that millions of children in the United States are struggling with emotional issues like depression, severe anxiety, and bullying? According to recent data:

🔹 Around 3.2 million adolescents aged 12 to 17 had at least one major depressive episode in 2020 (Source: National Institute of Mental Health).

🔹 Approximately 7.1% of children aged 3-17 have been diagnosed with anxiety (Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

🔹 Shockingly, 19% of high school students report being bullied on school property (Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

These statistics highlight the urgent need for us to address mental health challenges among our youth. Consider mindset coaching as a first step in addressing these issues. Mindset coaching empowers children to develop resilience, confidence, and positive coping mechanisms. By nurturing a healthy mindset early on, we equip our children with the tools they need to navigate life's challenges with strength and resilience. If you're interested in learning more about how mindset coaching can support your child's mental well-being, feel free to reach out!

Over the past decade, my focus as a therapist has been on supporting children with dyslexia and their academic needs. However, I have observed a concerning rise in emotional challenges among children in first grade. Issues such as low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, bullying, peer pressure, anxiety, frustration, sensitive family dynamics, and negative experiences on social media are becoming more prevalent, regardless of whether or not the child has a learning disability. While academic progress is important, we must provide holistic support for the whole child.

To address these challenges, I have embraced a proactive approach by teaching mindset skills to children through engaging stories, projects, activities, and problem-solving scenarios. This empowers our children and equips them with the tools to navigate negative situations successfully.
My primary focus is on coaching children to reach their fullest potential, guiding them along their unique paths using the Adventures in Wisdom Life Coaching Program for Kids™️. This program fosters a positive mindset in children, teaching them how to leverage the power of their thoughts and minds to create happiness, confidence, and success in their lives.

This quote from the National Institute of Child Health and Development that Susan Barton shared is so true. As a dyslexic specialist for almost ten years, it weighs heavily on my part that many schools still wait for a child to fail before giving that student the help he/she needs. We waste precious time in the earlier grades that could be used for remediation giving our struggling students a chance to catch up to their peers. Parents trust your gut! If your child is struggling, and the school will not provide any support, then take control and find help outside the school system.

Children at risk for reading failure can be identified even before kindergarten.

My son, Zach, and his friend recently created a free ADHD medication tracking app called Theraview that was designed specifically for individuals with ADHD who use stimulant medication to manage their symptoms. The app is currently available only on iOS, but it has some great features that make it a useful tool for medication tracking. If you or someone you know could benefit from using a medication tracker, please give Theraview a try and let us know what you think! If you have any feedback or suggestions, please send them directly to the Theraview team by visiting their website at https://www.theraview.app/. You can find the app here: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1541078407. Thanks for your support and let us know if you have any questions!
