Why Mindset Coaching for Children

• Mindset shapes everything: How children think about themselves influences their confidence, happiness, and ability to reach their goals — in school and in life.

• Proven, child-centered approach: Every program at The Owl’s Haven uses a research-backed, developmentally appropriate system designed especially for children.

• Navigating today’s world: With so many choices, pressures, and distractions, it’s easy for children to feel overwhelmed. Mindset coaching helps them find clarity, focus, and inner calm.

• Building life-long tools: Learning how to manage thoughts and emotions early gives children powerful skills they’ll use for a lifetime — before they face life’s bigger decisions as adults.

Mindset Coaching Helps Children:

• Build resilience and handle life’s ups and downs with confidence.

• Develop true self-esteem based on who they are — not just what they achieve.

• Dream big and go for their goals without fear or hesitation.

• Think independently, make good choices, and stand strong against peer pressure.

• Create a personal vision and take steps to reach their full potential.

Mindset Coaching Supports Children Who Are:

• Feeling down on themselves, afraid to try new things, or unsure where they fit in.

• Struggling with motivation, direction, or self-doubt.

• Experiencing fear, nerves, or setbacks and need help getting back up.

• Having a hard time with peers, honesty, or decision-making.

• Finding it difficult to take responsibility for schoolwork, chores, or actions.

• Feeling shy, awkward, or unworthy, not yet recognizing their strengths and gifts.

• Or simply wanting to grow stronger from the inside out before challenges arise.

At The Owl’s Haven, mindset coaching gives children the foundation to believe in themselves, make positive choices, and move through life with purpose and joy.

How Coaching at The Owl’s Haven Helps Kids Grow

Stories stimulate multiple centers of the brain which means deeper learning.

Stories That Inspire: Each session begins with a meaningful story that helps kids see real-life challenges through someone else’s eyes — in a fun, safe, and relatable way.

Guided Conversations: After the story, caring coaches lead thoughtful discussions that help children connect the story’s lessons to their own lives.

Learning by Doing: Fun, hands-on activities bring each skill to life so kids can practice and really make it their own.

The Power of the WISDOM™ System: Our proven, story-based coaching model helps children build confidence, strengthen their mindset, and grow important life skills.

Family Connection: Parents receive simple take-home resources that make it easy to keep the learning and conversations going at home.

Welcome to The Owl’s Haven

I’m so glad you’re here! As an Early Childhood Educator and certified mindset coach trained in neuroscience, my heart is in helping children grow, thrive, and believe in themselves. My work combines a background in childhood development and interdisciplinary studies with a deep passion for social-emotional learning — the foundation for every child’s confidence and resilience.

At The Owl’s Haven, I bring together my love of teaching and coaching to nurture positive mindsets during one of the most important seasons of life — the primary school years. These are the years when children begin to understand who they are, how they fit into the world, and how to handle challenges big and small. By learning mindset skills early, children gain tools they can carry into every stage of life — tools that lead to happiness, courage, and purpose.

Outside of The Owl’s Haven, I run a nonprofit supporting children born with cleft lip, cleft palate, and other craniofacial conditions. I also direct an annual 5K and kids’ run to raise awareness and fund cleft care and research. In addition, I work as a substitute teacher, continuing to connect with classrooms and stay close to the day-to-day experiences of children and educators.

I’m a proud mom to an adult son, a school-aged son, and a bonus mom to two wonderful adult sons. Since 2008, I’ve dedicated my life to studying education, personal growth, and the power of emotional intelligence. Each child I meet reminds me how amazing the human spirit truly is.

It’s an honor to walk alongside children and families as they discover their strengths, build resilience, and grow into their best selves.

Many blessings,
Chelsea
