coaching

Trialling interesting coaching questions for kids on my 11yo. 

Today: How have you been kind to others today?

Reaction: pensive then slowly out they came: I gave S a highlighter, I let H kick the ball, I asked J to sit with us etc

Both of us = full of happy hormones

That's a good one. Our son was a bit sad today. He had am exercise about gratitude. He had to think of a person he wanted to thank for something they did that made him happy. The only one he could think of was a friend from a previous place we lived 3 years ago. Whilst he could probably list many things for your q.

Yes, when we talked about that, he realised that, but he felt really sad that he doesn't have a good friend at school at the moment. We hope he finds one next year. He is a really kind little person, but he's not very much in sync with his peers. Great with younger kids and adults.

Yes, that’s quite a niche question. I think it helps to give kids some examples sometimes. I’m sure there are plenty of things you have done to make him happy.
