Now that school's back it's time to get a review of remote learning from my son Nate. In the final episode of season 1 we have a casual chat about the past few months and consider some of the challenges we will have moving forward.

Join me for the latest Lesson Plan where we discuss the importance of seeing the world through your child's eyes, especially when things go wrong. I share a perfectly imperfect story about my son and some Easter eggs where my decision making at the time was clearly off! Nate and Zali drop by to share some thoughts, including a promise I have made with my son.

We dive into the importance of waving the white flag and apologising to our kids. Parents all over the world are close to breaking point, but our children should not suffer because of it. There's an inspirational Michael Jordan quote all sports fans need to hear, some honesty from my household and a fresh teaching tip for you, using a 'prepology.'

Got a kid who's worried about things? Got a kid who gets nervous about trying something new? Feeling a little antsy yaself? Well in this episode we chat about what we can do as the adults in the house to help out the young ones. I'll also detail how to crash a motorbike with your 3 year old daughter on your lap. Good times.

Want to make things fun at home but don't know where to start? Your kids look like they need a shot of energy after a few weeks of remote learning? On this episode I will discuss trying the unbelievable with your children and how you can run some basic, free and quick drama based activities to engage your child. Did I mention it's free? Big Nate drops by to chat all things creativity in the Cuss household too.

In this episode we will look at what to do to keep our children thinking and learning when we cave in and chuck the TV on. Remote Learning is talking about the remote control, right? We will explore a few simple discussions you can have afterward your children watch something (that can easily be formalised into a written task) to help improve our their comprehension skills and ability to critique or give feedback. Nate and Zali drop by to discuss Ice Age, thankfully Millie was having a nap! It's not rocket science, but hopefully it helps.

In this episode we explore ways to motivate our children with The Challenge. Children don't just became motivated to do things they don't want to do, so we discuss some simple strategies to give them a push in the right direction. For a bit of fun my wife Alex joins me briefly on the show, be sure to stay for the behind the scenes bloopers at the end if you need a laugh.

Losing your mind at home with the kids? Me too. In this episode we look into the idea of teaching your children about respect and tolerance towards the other people in our life. Do they look different? Do they think differently? Do they dress differently? Do they speak differently? If the answer is yes, then they are the others. We will discuss this and why it's important for your young ones.

The world is all about connection right now. But as a parent are you modelling human connection or internet connection? Tune in to TLP to hear a few suggestions of how you can produce a happy and healthy use of tech with your little ones as the new Principal of your house. Nate, Zali and Mills drop by to share their opinions, you won't want to miss it.

The Lesson Plan Pod is back and this time we look at the importance of shifting some of that power. And I don't mean like the New York Knicks shifting the power to every team they play but giving your children a little more say in their world. All the #parentsturnedteachers I'm by your side, step by step. We also chat with my 4 year old Zali, go through the Triple T and give out another special Gold Star. As the world turns, let's try and turn it to something good.
