“Perhaps the secret of living well is not in having all the answers but in pursuing unanswerable questions in good company.” This is a quote from the paediatrician, Rachel Naomi Remen, that my guest this week quotes in her fantastic new book The Impossible Question of Living Well: How do we hold on to what matters, while also knowing how to let go?

In today's episode, I feel lucky to have Dr. Helen Street back on my show for a second time. The first time Helen was on was in March of 2020. In that episode, Helen and I spoke in depth about her book Contextual Well-Being. I've included a link to that podcast in the show notes of today's episode for anyone wanting to have a listen. To frame up today's episode, I want to share with you all the deep respect that I have for Helen and the work she does in the field of education. She has devoted her life to advocating for school contextual reform and the revolutionizing of traditional education systems. Helen is currently an honorary associate professor in the graduate school of education at The University of Western Australia and the chair of Positive Schools along with her partner Neil Portman. Helen firmly believes that, “Our role as educators is not to tell someone how to be well, or to reward them for behaving well. We have to provide young people with a context in which they can flourish”I love my conversations with Helen and I hope you all find the same value in the insight and life lessons that she shares in today's episode.

Is your house covered in reward charts for good behaviour? Are they working? While this quick-fix parenting hack can work for a while, it can actually cause more problems than it solves. And can make your child less, not more motivated to do the right thing. So if rewards (or on the flipside, punishments) are off the table, how can we motivate our kids to be better, act nicer, wee in the toilet, and clean up after themselves? Maggie Dent gets the hard truths from parenting and human behaviour expert Alfie Kohn, and practical advice from social psychologist Helen Street.

"Wellbeing in action is being autonomously motivated and self-determined in your life." This conversation with Helen unpacks the misconceptions of motivation and the connection it has with behaviour. She shares relatable and realistic ways we can pioneer the support of learning engagement, motivation and wellbeing within schools. Positive Schools Mental Health and Wellbeing Conferences were co created by Helen in 2009 and are now Australia's leading mental health and wellbeing event for educators. We discuss what the conferences advocate as well as insightful take aways from previous events. We deep dive into her most recent book, ‘Contextual Wellbeing', and explore the core domains of the framework; people, policy and practice, physical space and social normals. Helen's passionate, composed and articulate manner is extremely engaging! Thank you for coming on the journey with me to create a better future for our life long learners.
