That's good to know

Jamie is back for another info dump! We talk about behaviour, regulation and felt safety and so much of it makes a lot of sense.
Kids do well when they can so when we see them overwhelmed, stressed or under pressure there is a reason for it.
Jamie explains how behaviour and emotions are information. Behaviour is the visible moment where the load exceeds capacity.
Understanding the behaviour we are seeing and looking at it with curiosity instead of enforcing compliance can help foster safety and regulation in our kids.
Listen in for more valuable and helpful information around this topic. It's so good!

This episode is a cracker. I speak with Janieke de Graaf, Mum of two neurodivergent humans who also happens to be a neurodivergent human too.
We talk about connection, what it looks like to connect with our ND kids and how important it is for their felt sense of safety.
There is so much gold in this kōrero, I'm excited to share it.
Janieke is also a behaviour specialist with Explore, however, she speaks from the perspective of her lived experience in our interview.

Here is part two of my kōrero with Tiana, Annabel and Jasmine on their educational experiences, things that helped and things that maybe didn't.
We dive a bit deeper in this episode and hear how support they received shaped their education journeys at primary, secondary and tertiary level.
Annabel mentions a service run by iLead called iDrive in this episode. You can find out more information on the website here: I.Drive Licensing Program – I.Lead

In this episode I speak with Tiana, Annabel and Jasmine, three wonderful humans from i lead Wellington.
We discuss their educational experiences as disabled students in primary, secondary and tertiary spaces, the things that helped and the things that didn't.
This is a conversation that you don't want to miss. In fact, it was so good we split it into two parts.

In this episode I talk with speech and language therapists Zazi and Tess about transitions.
Transitions can be one of the toughest parts of the day for disabled and neurodivergent children and for the adults supporting them too.
We talk about what's really going on beneath the behaviour and what genuinely helps.
Zazi and Tess have their own podcast 'You got this - with Zazi & Tess'. I encourage you to check it out.
