    Teaching during COVID with Principal Racheal Wilding

    Teenagers spend such an enormous amount of their lives at school. It’s where they develop their friendships, grow as people and learn to deal with pressures in their learning environment. Therefore creating a supportive environment and teaching them that they always have a team behind them, they just sometimes need to be brave enough to reach out and get that team support. In this week’s podcast, I invite Rachel, head teacher of Smart Vision School, an amazing new establishment within the Dubai education system, to discuss the way they are supporting teenagers throughout these unprecedented times of Covid-19, the new digital era of schooling and the physical support that is also provided. Join in the conversation in the newest episode of our podcast.

    Raising kids is HARD. Trying to keep them healthy, help them to keep their grades up, supporting them in the turmoil of teenage relationships and friendships as well as ensuring they are as happy as they can be - it’s no small challenge! You want the best for them, but trying to manage that on top of everything else that life throws at us is never easy. We’re trying to support our children to be the best versions of themselves that they can be, but how can we truly do that if we aren’t the best version of ourselves? In this week’s podcast, I chat to Lindsey Nash, a dear friend of mine who has recently started a business helping mums step into a better, more calm, more confident, happier version of themselves, so they can inspire their children to do the same! We delve into the highs and lows of raising teenagers and how self-belief and acceptance can play an enormous role in raising mentall fit kids. Tune into this week’s episode for more!
