September 09, 2024 Debra Berndt Maldonado and Robert Maldonado PhD Life Coach Training and Personal Transformation Experts Season 8 Episode 227

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.
