Dream Coaching for children is something that we like to call "Imagination Coaching." But before we dive into the HOW, let's talk about the WHAT and WHY.

What is a Dream Coach?

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary,
dream:
a) a strongly desired goal or purpose
b) something that fully satisfies a wish
and/or
c) a visionary creation of the imagination


coach:
a) a private tutor
b) one who instructs or trains
So, a dream coach would be someone who instructs, trains or tutors you to attain a goal, purpose, and/or satisfy a wish. We also believe that now in our society that we are trained NOT to dream and so a dream coach teaches you how to dream again and to help realize dreams that you already have inside of you, but don't realize!

Why do kids need a Dream Coach?

As we stated above, we believe that as a society we are unknowingly training ourselves and our children NOT to dream. We want to be realistic and so we begin to push imagination and dreams outside of our thoughts. In our schools, children are encouraged to color in the lines and to use realistic colors and stories. We are over scheduled, overbooked and over stressed, and that leaves little time to the imagination (or for dreaming).

We believe that Kids (and adults too) NEED to imagine! It relieves stress, gives us hope and helps us take a peek at what could be! We also believe that a Dream Coach for a child is someone who will foster an imagination. In the definition of dream it says "a visionary creation of the imagination" So, in reality, couldn't we change out the word imagination for dream? Then we would have IMAGINATION COACH, which is exactly what we do here at Imagine My Future!

Imagination Coach

So by definition, an imagination coach would be someone who would instruct, train, or tutor you in imagination (or creativity, dreams, inventiveness...).

Our goal is to help you realize why imagination is important for kids (and parents too) and to then give you the tools to find and use your imagination!



Here at Imagine My Future, we want to help kids (an parents too) imagine again. We want to help you be more happy, more successful, more healthy, and have more fun...and all of this can and will happen when you begin to rediscover your imagination*!

Below we have linked to some articles and studies. We know that you want to have the best future possible and we are here to help you imagine the best things for yourself and the ones you love!

If you know of a site, link, article or anything else that helps to inspire imagination, let us know! We would love to add useful links and resources for you!

Lack of imagination in older adults linked to declining memory Science Blog- writer BJS 2008-01-07 10:04 There has been a link discovered between lack or imagination and lack of memory in elderly people. Is it safe to assume then that memory and imagination are linked and that if we encourage imagination in adults and children that memory will also be stimulated?
Lack of imagination can stifle progress USA Today (Society for the Advancement of Education) June, 1995 Imagination has been used to dream up and to then create most of the major inventions that we currently enjoy. Without imagination change will not happen as quickly and if it does, will merely be a happy accident.
