What if you found out there was a little, tiny word that could change your frustrations into opportunities? When we tell ourselves "I can't do this," we give up. But if instead, we say, "I can't do this...yet," we're opening ourselves to the possibility of growing through challenges, also called perseverance. Join this author in practicing perseverance, adding "yet" to your vocabulary, and learning the value of continued effort toward the things you love, even when it gets hard.

How We Can Help

It Takes a Village to Raise a Child

...however, if there is no clear communication amongst the people in that village, it will be hard for that child to succeed. Kidkoach is designed to offer parents and teachers a space where they can COMMUNICATE and learn TOGETHER all while feeling EMPOWERED and EQUIPPED with takeaways that are PRACTICAL and USEFUL. Instead of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, our programs will give you a chance to laugh, have fun, and remind yourself how lucky you are to play such an important role in a child’s life! Get ready to hit the road and make your way to the Kidkoach village!
