    Harmonising Life: The Potential Role of Music Therapy in 21st-Century Parenting

    Episode Summary: In this episode, Jude chats with music therapist Graeme Sacks about what music therapy is, how it encourages growth, self-expression and healing through music and how this might impact parents and their kids today! Graeme challenges the notion that music should be something we add competition to, especially because of how that pressure can often lead children away from music and singing. Instead he says, we should be encouraging children and teens to be making music and singing regardless of how “good” or “bad” they are, because of the joy that music brings and the way that we can process our emotions through music in so many ways. “Where communication is physically or psychologically disrupted, where words are not available, or distrusted, or too personal, music can help… Musical meetings can be life-changing.” - Gary Ansdell - music therapist and researcher If you’re interested in learning more about what music or other arts-based therapy is all about and how it can be transformational for our kids visit www.sanata.org (South African National Arts Therapies Association).

    Self Care Strategies for Overwhelmed Moms with Dr. Michael Mol

    In this episode Jude chats with Dr. Michael Mol about the invisible labour that oftens lands on the shoulders of moms. The fact that women are typically taking on more of the labour of childcare, organising the home and housekeeping, often in addition to their ‘actual’ jobs is a sad reality.  The burnout that so many moms experience should not be the norm. And so in this conversation Michael and Jude talk about practical things, backed by science, that we can do to care for ourselves.  There really are four simple pillars that ground this approach to self-care: eat, sleep, move and connect. Listen to the full episode to hear more detail about all of these areas for self-care.  And then you have to find your WHY? What is going to compel you to care for yourself?  Connect with Guest: Website: www.drmichaelmol.comLinkedInInstagramFacebook This episode is brought to you by Future Smart Parent Club.  Please like and subscribe to our community.

    Navigating Teen Emotions: The Power of Connection

    In this episode, Jude speaks with parenting coach, Lelia Schott, about engaging with our teenagers - a time often accompanieed with many emotions (from both teens and parents), boundaries being pushed, connection sometimes being tested, but also a time where our teens need these deep connections with both their peers, and their families - the family being the safe harbour that it provides through holding boundaries, while maintaining and working on deeper connects and relationships.   Lelia reminds us that a lot of the time this also includes connecting with ourselves and being aware of what we’re experiencing as parents..    What is my child feeling? What are they needing? What are they believing?  And then, what am I feeling? What am I needing? What am I believing?  And how can we connect…?   Lelia is a parenting coach whose work is all about helping people to reclaim (inner) child and parent wellbeing. As an empathetic listener and dedicated therapist, she loves working with people seeking a deeper connection to themselves and others.  Connect with Leila: Website: Lelia Schott Connect on Instagram: @leliaschott_synergyparenting Thank you so much for listening!  This episode was sponsored by Tweenology.

    South African Primary School goes phone free for 40 days

    In this episode Jude speaks with Natalie Meerholz, the headmistress of Holy Rosary Primary School, who started this campaign where many students pledged to go ‘phone-free’ for 40 days.  The campaign was about calling for the delay of smartphone ownership in children "in a bid to restore a play-based childhood and to protect the mental health and well-being of its learners." We know that with technology our children have more access to information than any generation before them. And while there are many wonderful benefits to technology, there is also a lot of inappropriate content and honestly, their brains are not able to cope with what they see, especially while they’re in primary school. Natalie and Jude discuss the experience and what students went through during the 40 days. Some pupils volunteered to journal and anonymously share their experiences. "Initial feedback shows that children found themselves bored, not knowing how to occupy their time. This isn't a bad thing because children who are allowed to experience boredom are more creative and innovative. "They are forced to either learn a new skill, create something new, or think outside the box, and it was our hope that the campaign would push this to happen.” At the end of the episode Jude also got to talk to some of the girls and hear their personal experiences of going without their phones for 40 days.  Connect with Holy Rosary School for Girls: https://www.facebook.com/HolyRosaryJHB/ https://www.instagram.com/holyrosaryjhb/ Resources mentioned:  The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness by Jonathan Haidt  Feeling overwhelmed?
