CHILDREN as young as five are being taken to “life coaches” by concerned parents pushing their youngsters to get their little lives on track.
Schoolchildren are being booked in by their parents to help them get friends, achieve more and work toward positive outcomes in their life.
One company, Be Happy in Life, writes on its website about coaching children:
“Why wait until they are 40 and miserable? Isn’t it better to give them a head start in life? Why let them develop ineffective habits? Isn’t it better to help them develop powerful ones instead?”
Be Happy in Life partner Gal Baras said parents booked sessions for their children because they might be lacking in motivation or self-confidence.
