Hold onto your hats, everyone—this one is a must-listen!

In today’s episode, we are thrilled to welcome Deidre Brandner—a paediatric psychologist, author, and parenting expert whose voice of clarity and compassion is exactly what we need right now.

We all know that working with children brings incredible rewards and complex challenges. Whether you're new to the sector or a seasoned educator, many of us are finding ourselves facing situations we’ve never encountered before—questions without easy answers, and a rapidly changing world that sometimes feels hard to keep up with.

That’s why Deidre’s perspective is so powerful. In this conversation, she dives into the importance of structure, explores the impact of screen time, and helps us make sense of the world we’re teaching in. Her insights will leave you not only feeling heard—but also better equipped to support the children in your care.

So settle in, get ready to reflect, and let’s explore some practical, thoughtful ways to navigate today’s early childhood landscape.
