Reuven Feuerstein said, “Change is the most stable characteristic of human beings.”   Although we may not even recognize it when it does happen. Now that neuroscience supports this idea with research in the field of neuroplasticity, we have more good reasons to believe in the power of this parameter of mediated learning experience.

The mediator can be a parent, a teacher, a counselor, or a friend. When the mediator helps another to see the big picture and go beyond the immediate need to just complete a task, we are getting to the heart of transcendence. This is like building a bridge between a simple worksheet and principles for life. Let’s call them nuggets of wisdom! Take a listen to some golden truths!

We all have that special person in our life that we could spend hours with at a coffee shop solving the world’s problems. We also remember that one amazing teacher who helped us to finally see value in a school subject that we thought we disliked! At least I hope you had one of those teachers! Dr. Zehr had a certain Mr. Williams in 7th grade. She discovered science was way cooler than she ever imagined!  For human interactions to go beyond intentionality-reciprocity, they need to be meaningful. Listen to this week’s topic of meaningful mediation.

Reciprocity makes the world go round! You cannot have a conversation with someone if they do not respond. This episode will give our followers tips on how to help the important others in your life to reciprocate more or perhaps even better! This parameter of mediation is paired with intentionality, the topic of Episode 2. Although they are two rather complex words, the concept of intentionality-reciprocity is profoundly simple and they go together. You just can’t have one without the other. Listen in!
