As a boy, Ishmael Beah was forced to kill. How do you turn a soldier back into a child? Ishmael Beah was just 13 when war reached his village in Sierra Leone and he was made to flee. In the chaos, he was separated from his family. He ended up with a group of other children at what they thought was the safety of an army base. But instead, he was taught to become a hardened killer and sent out to fight. Nearly three years went by before he was finally rescued by child protection specialists from Unicef, but he was so brainwashed that he didn't want to leave. It took months of careful rehabilitation and the support of a very special woman to break down his defences.In 1996, at the age of just 16, he gave a speech at the UN in New York where he recalled his experiences. His testimony formed part of a pivotal report into the impact of armed conflict on children. A decade later, he would become the first Unicef Advocated for Children Affected by War. Today he is a bestselling author and married with three children. This interview was recorded in 2020. This interview contains disturbing descriptions of violence.Presenter: Jo Fidgen Producers: Edgar Maddicott and Jo Impey Editor: Munazza KhanPhoto: Ishmael Beah Credit: Priscillia Kounkou HoveydaGet in touch: liveslessordinary@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp: 0044 330 678 2784

The number of children who become orphans because of Covid-19 rises each week: over 10.5 million children around the world have lost a parent or other caregiver living in the home, a staggering and heart-breaking figure. For comparison, it took 10 years years to create as many orphans as Covid-19 created in just two years.  Seth Flaxman and Susan Hillis have been tracking this grim statistic as part of their work with Global Reference Group on Children Affected by Covid-19. These losses can reverberate for years. This week, Flaxman and Hillis discuss the trials of children who have lost parents during the pandemic, and what can be done to help keep them safe and healthy.

With the talk of the pseudo-pandemic dominating the headlines for the last 2 years, other important health topics have been brushed aside (and the O:H team have been guilty of this as well). But recently the CDC quietly released their regularly updated autism prevalence numbers to the public. By their estimates, autism now affects 1 in 40 US children. Remember autism?

In 2020, 1.6 billion children were living in a conflict-ridden country. Approximately 452 million children – more than one in six – were living less than 50 km from where the actual fighting took place. For the last few years PRIO and Save the Children have collaborated on the Children in Conflict project which illuminates the number of children affected by violent conflict around the world. Updates have expanded to include children living in conflict zones where they are at risk for sexual violence. In this episode Gudrun Østby, Ragnhild Nordås, and Roos van der Haer talk about this research collaboration.

Many children are affected by the mental health needs of their parents - whether that impact is emotional, or having to become more self-sufficient at an early age. And some even find the roles of child and adult have swapped - and they've become the carer for their parent.So how do we help them cope with that emotional pressure and succeed in school?

There is a commonality among high-quality learning programs, regardless of the medium, type of learning, or audience. Whether it be workplace training, online learning, school curriculum, or children's educational television, to have an effective and enjoyable learning experience it is critical to develop it on a strong foundation of quality education research and beautiful design. In this episode we will discuss the interplay of research and design in creating quality learning programs. Sesame Street, the children's television program developed by media and education nonprofit Sesame Workshop, is a shining example of the power of quality research and design in educational programs. For over 50 years Sesame Street has brought critical early childhood education to over 150 countries, helping to prepare children for their first year in school as well as addressing critical social issues such as HIV, homelessness, death, and autism. Most viewers of the show possibly aren't aware that every aspect of Sesame Street is backed and supported by years of research driven by a longstanding partnership with the Harvard Graduate School of Education. To discuss how research and design work together to create such a successful educational program, I am joined by leaders from each of those domains at Sesame Workshop. Shanna Kohn is the Senior Education Manager of Humanitarian Programs at Sesame Workshop. She leads educational content development for Ahlan Simsim, a localized version of Sesame Street in the Middle East and manages the design of multimedia teaching and learning materials for Sesame Workshop's humanitarian programs. Dr Kim Foulds is the Senior Director of International Research & Evaluation at Sesame Workshop. She oversees research and evaluation on Sesame Workshop's international co-productions and community engagement interventions across the globe focused on a variety of curricular areas and media.   Shanna Kohn: https://www.sesameworkshop.org/who-we-are/our-leadership/shanna-kohn Kim Foulds: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimfoulds/ Article: Using Mass Media to Address the Socio-Emotional Needs of Children Affected by Conflict: Sesame Street in the Syrian Response Region https://www.naeyc.org/resources/pubs/yc/mar2020/creating-sesame-street-syrian-response Books: The Sesame Effect: The Global Impact of the Longest Street in the World https://www.routledge.com/The-Sesame-Effect-The-Global-Impact-of-the-Longest-Street-in-the-World/Cole-Lee/p/book/9781138806917 “G” is for growing: Thirty years of research on children and Sesame Street https://www.amazon.ca/Growing-Thirty-Research-Children-Sesame/dp/0805833951

In this episode, Althea T. Simpson sits down with Arron Muller, Licensed Master Social Worker, to address the effects of racial trauma on Black children. They then go deep into LEGO-based play therapy interventions that can help express anxieties and fear children are experiencing related to police brutality.

Interview with Verity Best and Josette Gardiner : Counselling for children affected by family breakdown. Working with families and children in mediation, dispute resolution and family conflict. In this interview with Verity and Josette, co-directors of focus counselling service, we talk about how to work with children who are experiencing family breakdown or conflict. Verity and Josette's share some of their tops for telling children parents are separating and what to look out for in the behaviour, that may indicate the need some additional support. Josette Gardiner BAppSocSci(Couns), Member ACA, ACA-Recognised Supervisor Josette provides counselling to adults, children and adolescents. Josette works with children using a variety of modalities and has a special interest in trauma and its effects on the brain and behaviour. Because of this, she provides effective and nurturing therapy to children where family violence has been part of their story. She has also worked extensively with a range of other issues such as self-harm, grief and loss, parental conflict and trauma recovery. Josette uses a range of tools, games and activities to help children untangle their inner world in a way that helps them make sense of it. She helps them master the skills they need to manage their emotions in an often-complicated world. All this is done with a sense of hope for the future, and a belief that the child is capable of any change they hope to achieve and the ability to heal from past hurts. In all her work, Josette uses a trauma-informed approach. Josette also holds a Certificate in Supervision and is an ACA recognised supervisor. Verity Best BAppSocSci(Couns), Grad Dip Family Dispute Resolution, Member ACA. Verity provides counselling and mediation services to adults. She has had a range of experience in the mental health sector, such as family violence counselling, crisis and trauma counselling, and counselling for addictions, in particular gambling, alcohol and drugs. In addition to this, Verity is accredited by the Attorney-General's Department to provide mediation services to separated parents in relation to children's matters. As a mediator, Verity provides a safe platform for separated parents to discuss their children's needs and develop a mutually agreeable parenting plan. In this service, as in her counselling practice, Verity provides a non-judgemental approach and a belief that her clients have the ability to change their lives in a positive way. In both counselling and mediation, Verity aims above all to empower her clients, and support them to find ways to make meaningful change. Verity also holds a Certificate in Supervision and provides bimonthly group supervision to Applicant Practitioners (IVO's) in the Victorian Magistrates Court. How do you tell your children that you're separating? Non-blaming of the other parent Keeping it developmentally focused Don't need to tell them the reasons why Tell the children it's not their fault it Things not to say Playing blame mum/dads had an affair When talking to children about family separation or divorce. Advocating for the child and being child focused is a priority for Verity and Josette Children may have different ideas to why parents separated and may blame themselves It's important to tell the children it's not their fault – even if they haven't verbalised it. You may need to say this a few times. They may not mention it because it's a shameful feeling – so they will keep it very well hidden Some may be very well behaved because they don't want to upset the parents Parents might think they're doing really well,  They're trying to protect each parent and internalise the pain Question: So what are some of the tips you have for parents or practitioners on how to guide that conversation , not to blame, and not tell them things they don't need to know, but to find that balance on how to give them enough information so they don't fill in the blanks with feeling that it's their fault? 3 points that are essential for telling children about parents separating Keeping the language unified – mummy and daddy both still love you Telling them that even though mummy and daddy may not love each other any more , we can never stop loving you It's not your fault Say these as often as you need. If they come to you with questions, you can say simple things like ‘ mummy and daddy are working on it'  take the pressure and responsibility off them. If they come to you to say something happened at the other parents house you can empathise with the child without blaming the other parent That sounds like you're feeling XYZ That sounds very confusing ….. do you want to talk about it Children can find it difficult to name their feelings – so giving them that open-ended question so they are invited to talk about it As parents it's ok to say we're finding it very confusing too but we're working on it Question: What are your tips for working with families who live in a high conflict home. Josette they may be very compliant they could go the other way and be compliant at school and behave differently at school or vice versa depends on the family and the extent of the conflict your first thought doesn't have to be the only one you can have different strategies Watching for when children are acting out, sometimes the children can act out with one parent, it may be the parent / house that they feel safest and most comfortable at ‘'the dysfunction of the home is often played out in the children's behaviour'' Sometimes a family comes to counselling with the family labelling the problem as being one particular ‘child'. Josette's tips, Do a genogram and look at intergenerational patterns of behaviour, gently pointing out relationships that may be strained or that may be indirectly promoting that strain in their child. Working with a family strengths and promoting what they're doing well. Parenting a child who may be struggling Referring to other services as a clinician? refer the parent on for some counselling - acknowledge the need for self care the parents are probably scared and anxious in a space they may never have imagined themselves in family violence service if needed family therapy if there's high conflict this may not be appropriate needs a thorough assessments Clinician self-care tips supervision be aware of your own family of origin and any triggers peer supervision debriefing Take-home tips Look after yourself it's hard to look after others if we don't look after ourselves Josette's enjoys reading to escape the clinical work, fantasy books Recommended resources The whole brainchild Dan Siegel Brainstorm Dan Siege Why do I do that?

When Ishmael Beah’s A Long Way Gone was published in 2007, it soared to the top of bestseller lists, becoming an instant classic: a harrowing account of Sierra Leone’s civil war and the fate of child soldiers that “everyone in the world should read” (The Washington Post). Beah’s first novel, Radiance of Tomorrow, is a tender parable about postwar life in Sierra Leone. It features Benjamin and Bockarie, two longtime friends who return to their hometown after the civil war. They try to forge a new community by taking up their former posts as teachers, but they’re beset by obstacles. Radiance of Tomorrow is a powerful novel about preserving what means the most to us, even in uncertain times.Ishmael Beah is a UNICEF Ambassador and advocate for Children Affected by War; a member of the Human Rights Watch Children’s Advisory Committee; visiting senior research fellow at the Center for the Study of Genocide, Conflict Resolution and Human Rights, Rutgers University; and president of The Ishmael Beah Foundation.Writers LIVE programs are supported in part by a generous grant from PNC Bank. Recorded On: Tuesday, February 3, 2015

Read the full story with photos at: https://www.otsuka.co.jp/en/company/globalnews/2014/1130_01.html The idea to have Santa visit Tohoku children affected by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake came when a group of students from Kanto Gakuin University visited a preschool in Kamaishi City in Iwate Prefecture. It was a summer picture book reading event to provide emotional support and relief to the children affected by the natural disaster. At the end of their visit, the children said, “When you come back, bring Santa Claus!” Planned and implemented by the Kanto Gakuin University students in December 2011, the Santa Project was born. This was in collaboration with organizations in Finland, including the traditional choir Belcanto and Santa Claus who is officially approved by Finland’s Santa Claus Village. Since then every year, Santa Claus from Finland visits children in various areas destroyed by the earthquake and tsunami passing out gifts to bring them holiday cheer. The Santa Project receives funding from a wide range of Japanese companies, including Otsuka Pharmaceutical. Volunteer students as well as Otsuka Pharmaceutical employees helped package SOYJOY bars and Calorie Mate in gift bags for Santa to give the children. The Santa Project provides emotional support and relief by promoting exchange events between survivors of the disaster, including children, and people from outside the area, to ensure that the event does not fade from memory. Santa Project volunteers travel with disaster survivors to Okinawa and Niigata, which itself has suffered from earthquake disasters in the past, Hokkaido, and other locations in Japan to promote cultural exchange between the people in these areas and the disaster survivors. Volunteers in the Santa Project hope that it can bring people together so that they can bring each other hope and joy, in the same way that the idea of Santa Claus brings hope and joy to children around the world.

This radio show is one I am very passionate about doing because I know there is so much distress In the New Life community regarding children affected by narcissistic relationships.   I did a radio show and blog article some months ago on this topic – however this radio show is a deeper look at how we can change our emotional set-point in order to change what is happening with our children.   If you are struggling with fear, pain and anguish as a result of what is happening with your children, this show is a must listen to show.

Tonight's special guest is Teresa Belsky of North Platt, Nebraska, an abuse survivor and activist who's especially concerned with anti-trafficking campaigns, issues of child XXX-rated pictures and Internet crimes against women and children. Teresa writes, "My first major nervous breakdown began after the FBI came to our door to question my then husband. To make a long story short, I wasn't his camera's only victim." (He had been hiding a camera for 10 years) "I started having flashbacks of attacks mixed with memories of happiness. A cycle. I was married to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." In the ensuing few years, Teresa suffered from numerous embarrassments, flashbacks and humiliations. Bouts of PTDS were frequent. Teresa says, "The moral of my story is to be careful how the use of cameras can affect your life. I understand that my ex started watching XXX-rated materials at age 5 from 3pm to 5pm every day after school. Unfortunately, he was raped by a neighbor man at the age of 7." She concludes, "Thank you for allowing me to pass the lesson I learned on to you. By doing so, I did not suffer in vain." She's returned to school and is planning to open an office of W.C.A.I.C. (Women and Children Affected by Internet Crimes) in North Platte in 2015. "When I initially sought help in the past, I was told 'Sorry, we can't help you. NO ONE is trained in that area.' Thus... I am a Psychology major and future Therapist for Human Trafficking Victims / Survivors in 2015 (after I graduate)."
