Dealing with School Refusal

There is an increase in the volume of children who are presenting with school refusal/avoidance and we must start by accepting that this is a real issue and it doesn't have an instant magic wand fix. Daisy outlines a very straight forward and meaningful methodology for supporting children and families to navigate a scenario where there is a reluctance to attend school. Based on a collaborative approach with the child we explore the risk factors, identify the strengths and highlight the areas of change that would benefit from positive attention and action.

The guy who lives inside my head

In this episode Daisy talks about how he manages tough situations and how he developed an internal version of himself that is activated in those times when challenging behaviour is present. The challenge for many of us can be how to stay present in moments of distress. How to retain compassion when there is no reciprocation.

The youth voice in politics

"I believe that the more we include the thoughts, ideas and voices of young people in decisions that will impact on their future, the more hope we can carry into that future." According to Daisy, moving beyond tokenism and into the realm of meaningful and purposeful and supported engagement is actually worth it! When youth participation recognises the needs of young people in terms of their adolescent development experience it becomes a contributor to their development and all of society benefits! When young people feel excluded, unwanted, unworthy or merely token contributors they will form a view of the world according to that experience. There is no point in us complaining about how young people view and treat the world when we are unwilling to consider our role in how they form negative views.

Good people, Bad policies

"I believe that good people can create bad policies. I don't believe in attacking individuals but I will always challenge proposals or policies that are not rooted in social justice or have not been developed with a human rights lens" Daisy explores the tension between popularity and good policy in the political arena. He wonders what has the most currency and what type of expectations are coming from the electorate in terms of those who occupy seats of power.

Standing idly by

A short episode that sets the scene for a new series of podcasts which aim to explore the challenges and choices we face in a changing world. Motivated by the urgency across the Globe to 'course correct' from our current direction. Inspired by a belief that the simple shift away from 'Standing idly by' can generate such positive power that it represents the potential to become a collective force for the common good. As Paulo Freire tells us, "Washing ones hands in the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral." As Bob Marley tell us, "the people who want to make the world a worse place are not taking a day off so why should I?".
