In our new podcast episode, "Jungian Coaching for Young Adults and Children," hosts Debra Maldonado and Robert Maldonado, PhD, continue their series on niches for Jungian Life Coaches. They discuss a popular niche for parents is to coach parents and their children in a Jungian model and why it is a powerful process for them and well-needed in our society.
Episode Highlights:
- Understanding Developmental Stages: Discover Erik Erickson’s stages of development and their profound impact on children, particularly ages 5-12 (Industry vs. Inferiority) and adolescence (Identity vs. Role Confusion).
- Jungian Concepts for Kids: Debra and Robert discuss how early exposure to Jungian ideas like Persona and Shadow can help children understand themselves better, recognize their strengths, and address vulnerabilities.
- Cultivating Creativity: Learn about the pivotal role of creativity in childhood development. Understand how nurturing imagination and creative skills can build resilience, reduce destructive behaviors like bullying, and lead to a balanced, fulfilling adulthood.
- Conscious Parenting: Insights into the importance of conscious parenting and the power it holds to provide children with the tools to handle stress, especially in the age of social media.
- The Ripple Effect: Consider the positive ripple effect that trained children can have on their peers and community, fostering a healthier and more supportive environment.
Why Jungian Coaching for Kids?
- Holistic Development: Unlike traditional methods focusing on behavior modification, Jungian coaching views each child uniquely, aiming for individual growth and self-mastery.
- Creative Techniques: Engaging the unconscious mind through visualization, active imagination, dreamwork, and play aligns closely with a child’s natural learning process.
