    En-ERGY in Motion (™) Suzy Rowland chats to Professor Sam Wass: Screen-time for Under 5s: Harmful or Helpful?

    Your eyes are not deceiving you: This is the 2nd time Professor Sam Wass has been on the show - I enjoy chatting to him as his research is fascinating and potentially policy-shifting. As a developmental cognitive neuroscientist and  Director of Early Years and Youth (Institute for the Science of Early Years and Youth (ISEY) at University of East London, UK.  At the University, his work involves studying how early environments including pre-school screen use, can shape early brain development, utilising world-leading methods.  These insights can support policy advice, training and consultancy. Professor Sam's research advised a UK Government recommendation for children under 2 to not use screens at all and children up to the age of 5 to have only 1 hour of screen use! Is this harmful or helpful to the developing brain as we know our world is digital now and kids need to learn these skills but is the early use of Apps and technology, harmful or helpful for early brain development? Listen in and make up your own mind! You can find Professor Sam Wass on LinkedIn.

    En-ERGY in Motion (™) Suzy Rowland chats to Rose Carter, Founder & CEO Inspires Tuition

    Chatting to Rose was like having a cold shower! She's refreshing, honest and speaks from the heart. It's wonderful to meet people with her level of compassion for children who can sometimes get overlooked. Especially those who are long term out of mainstream education and battling a number of complex issues.  Funny thing how as adults we forget the intensity of emotions we feel when we are children. We expect them to do what they're told without argument and follow advice just because. I love reminding myself that they are adults with a bit less experience.  Many children, especially those carrying trauma, or difficult early life experiences are wise beyond their years and have clear ideas of who they are and how they need to progress in life.  We are experiencing a continued surge of children who are out of school and unable to cope in traditional educational settings. Rose has made this area of work her purpose through providing safe and accessible space for young learners.  Listen to her experiences and you will see how her personality and patience allow her to achieve where some have walked away.  It will serve so many of us to remember the wisdom that some young people are gifted with.  I'd love to hear your experiences of working with young, wise people in your communities.

    En-ERGY in Motion (™) Suzy Rowland chats to Sarah Templeton, Founder of Charity ADHD Liberty

    Sarah Templeton, like many ADHD women, is on a mission! It's clear in everything she does and says. Challenging the pupil to prison pipeline  addressing head on the injustice that ADHD men and women face in the UK Criminal Justice System, especially if they're undiagnosed or untreated, dealing with ongoing trauma or mental health challenges. Which many of us do. Childhood trauma and ADHD has many similar presentations.  It's not all superpowers and success towers. Even if brilliance is part of an individual's ADHD narrative, there is usually a bucket load of obstacles they've had to dodge along the way.  Sarah's passion for shining a light on undiagnosed ADHD and how so many young people are imprisoned because of their impulsive or dangerous acts, you will want to find out more. If your child is already showing signs of rejecting authority, appears to be highly oppositional, you may be at your wits end.  Sarah has been there and she's literally written the book about it! Check out her books to find out more about ADHD in terms of how it might impact your child's behaviour, learning and end up with them being on the road to a difficult set of circumstances.  Book links: https://theadhdstuffshop.co.uk/product/how-not-to-murder-your-adhd-kid/ https://theadhdstuffshop.co.uk/product/how-not-to-damage-your-adhd-adolescent/ https://theadhdstuffshop.co.uk/product/teach-how-not-to-kill-the-spirit-in-your-adhd-kids/ https://theadhdstuffshop.co.uk/product/prison-counsellor/ Sarah is also Founder of the charity ADHD Liberty, which was set up to raise awareness of Adult ADHD and campaign for mandatory ADHD screening throughout the Criminal Justice System, Addiction and Homeless services in the UK.

    En-ERGY in Motion (™) Suzy Rowland chats to Esme Buxton, Founder The Paddock Journal

    Esme Buxton is a narrative-driven luxury photographer helping brands deliver memorable campaigns that drive both artistic excellence and measurable results. She is also a Formula 1 fan and founded the Paddock Journal in response to a gap in the market to explore the fashion and brand values of Formula One.  I was following the Paddock Journal online and loved the aesthetic and how cleverly Esme has blended the two worlds and clearly her two passions.  Launching a magazine is a huge achievement and I wanted to find out more about this clear-sighted woman fulfilling her dreams to create something fresh for Formula One fans, especially female F1 followers.  Esme says of the publication: "Our  values have always and will always be about inclusion, representation, authenticity and community. 🫶🏻 Setting up the magazine was mega hard work, but I'm so glad I went for it!"
