242. Veteran educator Rod Soper on children and resilience - a podcast by Low Tox Life 2017

Another instalment of our parents and kids series during these few weeks and it's another super helpful show. Do you ever doubt yourself as a parent or carer? If the answer is ‘oh yeah I do sometimes!' then enter today's guest: Rod Soper is deeply committed to increasing the wellbeing of every child through saturating their lives with wellness. Rod is a veteran educator, having served as a classroom teacher and school principal for more than twenty years. Currently, Rod heads up Thinkers.inq, Personhood360 and is the principal consultant with Thinkers.inq consulting. He is also the chief investigator of The Playing with Gratitude research Project, a wellness project supporting change in about 3000 Australian children, families, and teachers. 

 

All parents and carers want to contribute to the development of resilience in children as they grow, helping them with good self-regulation skills, perseverance, courage, and also developing their ability to move through big emotions and get themselves unstuck when they experience an emotionally or physically challenging situation. Today's show is packed with the kinds of tips and things to say in different situations that you will absolutely want a notepad and pen for so pour a cuppa, take it in, and share with a friend who might want some support raising their kids. The resources we talked about are in the shownotes over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast as well as show sponsor offers.
