Clare Ford, Expert Educator and founder of Switched ON! online academy, and I talk this week about:

- The importance of meeting children and young people where they are at, not shoe-horning them into a framework of expectations (academic or otherwise)

- What happens when we adults put children’s mental wellbeing first (spoiler: they flourish and their academics thrive too!)

- Children’s innate curiosity and sparkle… and what it’s like to nourish that

- How many adults there are walking around with ‘school wounds’ (people-pleasing, feeling ‘stupid,’ not being heard etc) who are breaking this cycle for their children by being more involved in their kids’ education and feelings around learning and schooling.

You can find Clare at her website https://www.switchedonglobal.com, Facebook and Insta.

And Clare would kindly like to gift listeners her ‘7 Success Strategies (To Get Your Child Excited About Learning Again)’

Have you signed up for my free mini-course, ‘The 7-day Connection Reset?'

Explore the love languages in your family and identify how your child best feels love - and just enjoy connecting with them in a range of ways over the 7 days of the videos (of course, you can binge them or watch and then take longer over each love language - it's your choice!)

Remember: Healing + skills = the parent you always wanted to be
