Dr. Lois Nightingale
Psychologist, MA, Ph.D.
I have been working with children and adolescents since 1981. I have worked in research on ADD/ADHD and have years of experience with positive behavior modification interventions. I have written several children's self-help books and believe kids deserve to have coping skills for their emotions and personal interactions. www.amazon.com/author/loisnightingale

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalytic Candidate
Creating a safe and engaging space for children is my passion. I specialize in working with kids of all ages: I use a combination of play therapy and psychoanalytic interventions tailored to each child's unique needs. I often have separate check-in sessions with parents throughout the course of treatment.
Play therapy allows children to express themselves freely through toys, games, and creative activities. This playful approach helps us uncover and address underlying emotional concerns in a way that feels comfortable and natural for them.

Unlocking the Power of GRIT in Children: Fostering Resilience, Independence, and Growth
GRIT, that remarkable ability to persevere in the pursuit of long-term goals even when faced with adversity, is a quality we all desire for our children. It's the cornerstone of resilience, a vital trait that paves the way for independence and success. And at Well Coached Life, we believe in cultivating GRIT in children from the earliest possible age.
GRIT Kids—Who Are They?
GRIT Kids represent a diverse spectrum of young individuals, ranging from the bold to the timid, the curious to the cautious, the serious to the playful. They encompass children between the ages of 2 and 12, each on their unique journey of self-discovery and growth.
The GRIT Kids Mission:
At Well Coached Life, we've established GRIT Kids with a singular purpose: to provide parents and caregivers with the tools and guidance they need to nurture self-awareness in their children at every developmental stage. We understand that simple behavioral management isn't enough to cultivate the internal locus of control required for character development and self-discipline.
Why GRIT Matters:
GRIT is more than just a buzzword; it's a vital life skill. It's about teaching children to persevere, adapt, and transform in the face of challenges. It's about fostering curiosity about their own thoughts and feelings, enabling them to develop insight, evolve, and embrace their unique potential.
Our Expert GRIT Kids Coaches:
Our dedicated team of GRIT Kids Coaches is specially trained to assist you in the intentional upbringing of your child. We provide the guidance and support needed to help your child form a strong self-identity, learn to live with purpose, and grow into their fullest, most capable self.
Join Us on This Journey:
Let's cultivate GRIT in your child as soon as possible. Together, we'll empower them to face life's challenges with resilience, independence, and unwavering determination. With Well Coached Life and GRIT Kids, your child's path to personal growth and self-discovery begins today.
