  • S9-E130: #CalmingBoxes #JourneyToBetter
    In this episode I take a brief look at how I use calming boxes to help some of the children I work with. They have proved particularly useful for children who are anxious, worried or dysregulated., and also work well with children who are finding it difficult to concentrate or who have experienced trauma or a loss in their life.

  • S9-E125: #HarryPotter As A #Teaching #Resource
    The popularity of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone makes it a joy to work with and gives you opportunities you wouldn’t have with other texts. Children who know the book will be keen to revisit it, and I use it in video slots of 20 minutes and link this to text work and also discussion work around different topics. The magic is still at work two decades later and children readily associate with the characters and this allows for comfortable entries to sometimes difficult discussions around PSHE related topics that I have to deal with.
    Children will want to talk about Harry’s wizarding world and their own experiences there as readers. They express strong feelings about the characters – Harry and his friends seem real and children like to treat them as such. Their involvement is frequently expressed through play, making the book a natural and rewarding starting point for cross-curricular activities. I use it as a standalone resource for my work with children experiencing Social, Emotional & Behavioral Difficulties as it easily lends itself to discussions around , friends, bullying, home situations, making good choices etc.
    This is a Unit of work that I always look forward to in my cycle of work that I undertake with the children I visit on Outreach and it lends itself very easily to a once weekly visit as it is easy to pick up from where we left off due to their familiarity with the story. I also use video a lot as this takes away any difficulties that could be encountered due to the disparity in reading ability between the children that I encounter over the course of a weeks outreach.
    For more information on how I use it or indeed how you use Harry in your classroom drop me a message on the voice message facility.

  • S9-E124 #ATeachersStory #JourneyToBetter #2020
    Hi everyone, as it is the start of the New Year indeed a New Decade, what better time than to change some of the format around my podcast. I suppose the actual naming and content of this podcast over the course of the last year reflects my own slightly schizophrenic tendencies as I continually jump from topic to topic and interest to interest! 
    You know exactly what you want in life. But you can’t seem to get there. You have all these resolves. You’re going to get healthy. You’re going to write that book. You’re going to be more present with your loved ones. You’re going to start that home-based business. You’re going to learn another language. You’re going to be more patient and happy. You’re going to get out of debt. You’re going to be more organized. You’re going to be a better friend. You’re going to overcome bad habits.
    But the problem for all of is that doing any these is really hard and it gets harder every day. Some days, it seems more realistic to just give up entirely. The whole taking one step forward and one or two steps backward pattern is getting old. So this podcast is my attempt to journal my journey as a record of my ups and of course downs in order to help me and hopefully you can achieve a modicum of success. Rather than continuing with You telling yourself: “Today is the day!” only to fall into old ways before the day — or if you’re lucky, the week — is spent. The podcast is not only a diary but a means of accountability
    Conversely, Gandhi has said, “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”
    These podcast sessions will be an attempt to have post-work reflection time. The idea is to account to myself what you got done that day and what needs to be moved to tomorrow. Write the things you learned and experienced. They will also allow me the chance to let go of feelings or notions that I may have stored up previously and this would have led to stress, the episodes will be an opportunity to let go and hopefully allow me by verbalization to process and formulate a way of moving forward.
    I intend to use the content of the episodes as a keystone habit in the morning and evening, to enable me see the incongruities in my life. I'm hoping that this will bring more clarity to my path in life, but also improve my ability to make small and large decisions along the way.

  • S9-E123: #SLEEP your way to a #BetterYou #LifeHacks #NewYearResolutions
    Everyone is full into 2020 and all the 'good things' that we are going to do to help ourselves be better. If your like me you will have stretched it out until the very end and with me only going back to work today the 6th of January, the New Year only officially starts today for all the 'resolution' caper!
    Well, while it seems like a great idea to suddenly embrace this 'new you' complete with eating changes, lifestyle changes and work goals, all we really do is pile immense pressure on ourselves both physically and mentally and end up failing within the first couple of weeks. This may be a message of doom and gloom that really doesn't seem to fit with all the 'positivism' that the world around us is swimming in at the minute.
    Far too many of us don't make the most of who we are now and go off seeking some 'nirvana' that the media etc has set as the ideal that we should strive for. I'm not saying you should ignore losing weight or getting fit for health reasons - just don't be fooled into believing that a New Year warrants a new, and better, you.
    Instead, how about taking an alternative, and potentially more life changing approach? Making the most of who you are and what you have going for you. And yes, you’ll have plenty – if you look for the good stuff instead of picking up on your ‘faults’.
    Until you do this and have a strong inner confidence you will always be searching for something better. And that can't be healthy. So give yourself a break and rather than make another round of New Years’ resolutions, look deeper into you.
    You might not be able to change the people around you – or even your circumstances, but you can always choose how you respond to both. Focus on what you can do, not what you can’t, which is a waste of energy. And be careful who and what you listen to, including that pesky, critical, inner voice of yours.
    Know that nothing can hold you back, unless you allow it to. It’s OK to get things wrong as long as you stay true to who you are, and focus on being you at your best. So stop with the resolution making, change ‘I should be doing’ into ‘why do I have to?’ and wave goodbye to the pressure to keep up and conform. 
    I'm not saying you should ignore losing weight or getting fit for health reasons - just don't be fooled into believing that a New Year warrants a new, and better, you. These changes should be based around what works for you spend January becoming comfortable in 'Your Own Skin' and that includes the mental as much as the physical. This will leave you with a better starting point to work from as the change will be for reasons you want and the choice to not change something, will be based on an equally valid process.
    The biggest tip that I will give everyone that will really help them through January and into 2020 is to get more SLEEP!
    If there’s one health-enhancing thing you can do this year, it’s to sleep better. Sleep is the ultimate performance enhancer. When we fall asleep we’re not only helping ourselves in the short term – mentally, emotionally and physically – but improving our long-term health, too. Sleep can make us happier, improve heart health, boost memory, even reduce the risk of dementia. If sleep were a pill, it would be prescribed by every single doctor on the planet. It does everything – and it’s free.
    Sleep is as important to our health as eating, drinking and breathing. It allows our bodies to repair themselves and our brains to consolidate our memories and process information. Poor sleep is linked to physical problems such as a weakened immune system and mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. So try to aim for the magic 8 hours as a minimum & if you can build in more do so. A 1 hour nap is really beneficial, set the timer, so as not to oversleep, it will boost you, also cut down screen time up to 30 mins before your main sleep.
