I felt it was useful to try and cover some of the kind of key themes of been coming out of the Q&A sessions I’ve been doing at school as I can I find it very fascinating and I hope you will too. Much of the theme is about having challenging conversations with parents. Particularly around the pressure of exam expectations and being honest with their parents about how they don’t know what they want to do in the future. I’ve tried to really bring for you a condensed version of some of the key themes that come out from the Q&A sessions and hope that gives you an interesting insight into what I’m experiencing I’m at schools.

In this podcast I talk about the decision to help my son try new things more often. There is something very powerful in helping our children experiment and try new things and try new activities that only helps them understand themselves more. Only helps them understand what they do like and don’t like. And I really think this so much benefit as parents to gently nudge our children into discovery. And for me this podcast is so important about how in later life we can make decisions which are based on our own self awareness and I think that’s a massive gift we can give our children. I really hope you enjoy this podcast <3 Don’t forget to let me know what you thought over on Twitter http://Twitter.com/benjacksoncoach

It’s a bit of a raw podcast, but covers a very important subject around this time of year regarding hugs and consent. There was conversations recently regarding forcing children to show affection when they don’t want to.

This may only be for a few of you but I hope you get some useful understanding from it.
