[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 425639, member: 1233"] I have never heard of a life coach who works only by phone. Sound like a great racket if you can get it, but I don't know how much it helps the patient. Communication iso nly 30% verbal so working by phone means she is missing 70% of what is going on that she is trying to help with. I do agree that often therapy and help for the parents is more helpful than for the kids. You can teach kids all the skills and tools you want, but you still won't get any results if they won't use them. Sort of like you can give a kid a tiller, shovel, seeds and plants, a patch of land, water, fertilizer, etc... but you won't get flowers or veggies if they won't pick up the tools. At one point my mom did therapy by phone because her therapist was an hour away. Even though she had worked with this therapist for eyars it still wasn't very helpful because the doctor just couldn't get enough info on what was going on from what my mom was willing to verbalize. So don't try that phoen stuff. I HAVE heard that life coaches can be very helpful for people iwth adhd, but have only heard of them working with adults. [/QUOTE]
