    #16. Unpacking Loneliness Among Young People

    In this weeks episode I speak to Helayna Jenkins, the first person in the UK to be appointed Principal Loneliness Champion, about the growing issue of loneliness amongst young people. Often attributed to something more likely to affect the older generation, Helayna shares some surprising statistics of how prevalent loneliness is amongst 18-35year olds.    In our conversation, Helayna defines what loneliness is. We also discuss the causes, impacts and solutions to this growing problem. Having experienced loneliness herself, Helayna is able to bring her personal experience to her role and in doing so is helping to make a big impact.    As always if you have any comments about this episodes or have a specific topic you'd like to hear about please email me at lessonsoutside@gmail.com

    #13. The Education system, SEN and Children’s mental health

    Today I'm speaking to Dr Hayley J Smith. She is a clinical psychologist and a mother of two. We have a thought provoking conversation about the school system, the increase in children's mental health difficulties caused by their experiences in schools and the problems with a school system that is so focused on targets and assessment to the detriment of those children with individual needs or children with SEN.

    #12. Bully-Proof your kids. Conversations and ideas to help your kids deal with bullying

    Unfortunately bullying exists and as parents we cannot always be there to protect our children. Instead we need to give them the skills necessary to help them navigate these challenges. This week I speak to Stella O'Malley, a psychotherapist and author of 'Bully-Proof Kids' about how we can implement so practical tools to help them. She also gives great advice to us as parents and guardians about what we can do if our child is being bullied, or is the bully.

    #11. The Science of Learning

    In this episode I am speaking to Bradley Busch, psychologist who with his co-author have written a new book: 'The Science of Learning: 77 Studies That Every Parent Should Know' Using the studies as a guide to help you to understand the mysteries of children's brains. We discuss parents’ understanding of crucial psychological research so that they can help their children improve how they think, feel and behave in school (and, indeed, in life). We discuss some of the fascinating research which includes data that a lot of parents will find very surprising and which goes against some of our common held assumptions.  To find out more about Bradley and his work visit: innderdrive.co.uk - visit the resources tab and you will find a large number of free resources on a whole range of topics.
