As May is the Mental wellness month, Manya Monga, Child Mentor and NLP / Life Coach at Miracles Wellness creates awareness about Kids mental health and the various different options to help deal with children while keeping their best interest as the top priority.
In today’s technology driven world, it is a fight for survival. We have to do all we can to keep our families and ourselves safe and protected, not only Physically, but also Mentally. Mental Health is of utmost importance, not only for adults, but also kids.
Kids can have a lot of issues and problems that remain unresolved which will accumulate overtime and eventually have the potential to turn into a lifetime scar or become a part of their personalities. Our kids face a lot of situations in their daily life which most of the times they are not able to express. This needs attention and guidance at the right time as ultimately it will start appearing in their behavior. If not identified early, children start seeking help elsewhere, for example the internet, which can sometimes give wrong and misleading information, which the child can assume to be correct. Children can also take it upon themselves to get into different escape routes through friends and other means which can end up leaving them in a negative and confused state, which should be avoided at all costs.
Kids mentoring entails guiding and mentoring them to be future leaders by becoming the best version of themselves possible. This will help them deal with inherent problems that arise as a result of our fast-paced and ever changing society and the burden of various expectations that are put on kids, at home, in the school or even online.
Using NLP & Life coaching techniques, I can help kids become more aware of their behavioral patterns, gain self-confidence, have higher self-esteem and along the way, get rid of any emotional baggage, fear or stress that they have including addressing lack of self-love, whether that is being consciously or subconsciously created.
NLP – Neuro Linguistic Patterns is a technique used for changing one’s thoughts and behavior in order to achieve the desired outcome. With Life Coaching, I can empower and guide children and adults to face any problem or situation head-on by enhancing their spirit and allowing them to live life to their fullest potential.
Most times our kids start behaving in a certain way, they get rebellious or even become detached. Often as parents, we overlook these behaviors, assuming that maybe, it is one of those days or that their hormones may be kicking in, in doing so we can procrastinate until it becomes a pattern. Slowly, these patterns get converted into habits and before we know it very strongly becomes a part of their personalities.
While I work with kids and boost their confidence and uplift their state of mind, I also work with the parents to understand and guide them through the difficulties they are facing in regards to parenting and also even in their personal lives, as sometimes, the problems that the parents may be going through in their personal or professional lives can affect the way they are dealing with their kids.
As a mother myself of 2 smart and confident young boys, I would like to confess that my journey as a mother wasn’t easy at all. I faced my share of difficulties, as becoming a near-teenager, my son had just become so rebellious and stubborn that anything we would do or say would push him further away from us until I started applying all the various different techniques that I had learned over the years.
It wasn’t easy I must say as it becomes difficult to solve a problem if you are a part of the problem, so I had to do it very subtly. Since then, I have seen an immense change in him, the way he reacts to the same situations or events is very different and positive. His whole personality and attitude towards life has completely changed.
So what I can confidently say here is that it is very much possible for change to happen in our kids, they just need the right guidance and awareness, and the quicker it is done the better the outcome is. Incase as a parent you notice or observe any behavior that makes you think twice, I would highly recommend you to trust your instincts and start guiding them to better understand the problems or difficulties they are facing but are unable to express and take a step towards exploring their mental wellness and support you can get to assist you with whatever you’re facing.
Our Children are literally the future, they can become our greatest leaders, heroes, politicians, and artists, amongst many more. Let’s work together to make sure they step into a brighter future with correct guidance and a positive empowered mindset.
