Stepping Stones Kids Life Coaching- “The Best Way to Overcome Obstacles is to Treat Them as Stepping Stones.”

Hi, I’m Sharlin Craig and I live in Orange County, California. I’ve been married to my wonderful husband for 16 years and we have a beautiful 12 year-old daughter. I’m passionate about Kids Life Coaching because I see incredible potential in all children. I’m inspired to support them in discovering their unique strengths and being all that they can be.

I’ve enjoyed teaching music to children for over 20 years. One of my favorite parts of teaching these kids, has been helping them grow in their self-esteem and confidence. When I discovered the https://www.kidslifestudio.com coaching program, I was excited to be able to help children grow in their life skills even more. Children are such quick learners and they’re so adaptable, that the benefits seen with coaching can be fast and life changing! Kids can use these skills as stepping-stones to lead them to fulfill their dreams and goals for the rest of their lives!

Having come from a home where my parents divorced when I was 6 years old, I have empathy for children going through similar situations. I also understand and empathize with kids when they face peer pressure, bullying, and other challenging situations. I experienced all of these things as a kid and know first hand how hard this can be on self-esteem and confidence.

No matter what kids face in life, whether they come from a broken or stressful home, have academic challenges, face bullying, have low self-esteem or confidence, or just need additional guidance in their lives, I want to be there to support them through coaching so they become stronger, more resilient, more confident and more motivated. I want to help them understand their inner worlds and not be so affected by the outside world. I’m inspired to teach them how to become more emotionally intelligent and have greater perspective of others’ feelings. And I want to lead them down the path of making wise choices for themselves so they can be the leaders of their own lives.

Kids are meant to be happy and joyful. My purpose is to help each child be healthy in body and mind so they can relax and be their happy selves. My dream is that each child will always see their inner beauty that they were born with and believe in themselves despite the outside world that may try to change them.
I look forward to helping your child thrive in his or her life, no matter what their circumstances are. I believe in the goodness and beauty in each child and that with the right support, they can do anything!

Testimonials

Sharlin is a very kind, caring & empathetic person. She mentored my three young daughters who all received vocal and guitar lessons from her. Sharlin has influenced their love of the arts and has continued to be a presence in their lifes now that they’re grown. She fosters a caring and beautiful relationship with community; my daughters have come back to do performances and talks for Sharlin’s younger students about how their artistic work has developed over the years. Her coaching has truly carried on in my daughters work in the arts; she has helped them love their work and thrive in it. Not to mention she taught them how important it is to respect their parents and have a loving relationship with them. Thank you Sharlin! Janet Tang

Music and Kids Life Coaching

We take lessons from Sharlin and couldn’t be more pleased! She has been teaching my children piano for two and a half years and we look forward to every lesson. Her kind and patient manner as well as sunny disposition are a far cry from the knuckle rapping teachers of old. Both kids have learned the basics of music theory and participated in group recitals. We highly recommend Sharlin! Julia Motherway

Piano Coaching

I am tremendously grateful to Ms. Craig for everything she has taught my daughter and the joy her music has brought to our family. She is exceedingly patient with all students and is able to draw the very best effort from each and every one. In a group setting, I’ve observed her manage a large group of students with a nurturing strength. The benefits of Ms. Craig’s education translate into so many other areas of one’s life. Along with the technical aspects of piano and voice, Ms. Craig addresses performance techniques which have been particularly helpful to my daughter. Ms. Craig is absolutely passionate about music and her connection with children is evident by the long-lasting relationships she builds. I offer my highest recommendation for Sharlin Craig as a music teacher for your children. Ivette Robinson
