Are you worried about your child's mental health and feel that they (and you) need a little extra support? Unschooling allows for you to prioritise your child's mental health and your relationships, and whilst the principles of unschooling and the lifestyle are naturally therapeutic, they are not therapy. This episode of Unschooling Conversations introduces you to the work of NLP4Kids as I interview the lovely, and knowledgeable NLP4Kids practitioner, Naomi Emison. She shares with us the work that she undertakes with families and insights on NLP techniques for improving mental health in children and families. She demonstrates how unconscious thought patterns can be effective and non effective in your child's day to day life and how, working in partnership with parents and children, these thought patterns can be changed. That's really a fancy way of saying that I was the Guinea Pig whilst she demonstrates these things with practical examples and I experienced a moment of euphoria at the magic of our minds!! You'll have to listen in to experience the magic for yourself.   Skip to the good part: Naomi introduces herself and her work as an NLP for kids' practitioner. (01:30)   Unconscious and conscious mind, and decision-making. (07:32) - Naomi explains the difference between conscious and unconscious mind, highlighting their roles in decision-making and problem-solving.   Identify problem areas, set goals, and reframe issues using NLP techniques. (12:36)   How unschooling aligns with supporting children's mental health and wellbeing. (16:06)   Naomi discusses workshops for parents to improve communication with children.

(27:57) - Naomi explains a technique called anchoring to help children manage anxiety by associating a positive memory with a specific body part. Guest Contact details: Website Email Facebook Guest Information: I am an NLP4Kids Practitioner offering therapy and personal development tools and techniques to help children, young people, parents and families to flourish and to be the best versions of themselves. My favourite moment when working with children and young people is when they overcome a challenge ( either personally or with their learning) and become confident to use strategies, tools and techniques to be the best version of themselves. I love working with and seeing children, teenagers and families flourish. I have taught all year groups from Reception to year 6. I have first -hand experience of working with children at different developmental stages and have worked alongside many children and families to build confidence both socially and academically and help them take the next positive in managing feelings, behaviours and relationships. I have been a member of the school senior management as Deputy Headteacher, KS1 lead, KS2 lead and Eary Years lead. I have led the development and learning of both children's personal and social behaviour within schools that I have worked in. I currently work part time as safeguarding officer and a personal tutor. My volunteer work has been in a Church context as a children's worker, youth worker and pastoral group leader. In all of these areas of work, I have travelled alongside people of all ages and listened with care to worries and concerns and worked together on positive solutions. I enjoy walking, swimming, singing , cooking, playing the piano, listening to all sorts of music and spending time with friends and family.

In this episode, Toria chats to transition guru Liz Stevenson about transition and why it is so important that we get this right at all ages and stages. Liz currently works in Primary School Improvement in Birmingham but in the last 23 years has worked in Primary, Secondary and Special Education. Prior to her current post she was the Transition Manager for a Local Authority working with KS2 and 3 children, staff and parents. She writes a blog that offers more food for thought around how to support children through the muddy waters of transition, rather than steadfast solutions. She co-founded the TransitionEd movement, hosting an annual online conference with speakers from around the world and with varying experiences and expertise in the field.You can find Liz on Twitter @Lstevenson2410, follow her Blog Transition Matters or if you wanted you could catch up on the last 3 years of TransitonEd conferences you can find them on the website.

Jon Hutchinson is the Head of Training and Development at the Reach Foundation, an educational charity that focuses on expanding the role of schools into the wider community through a cradle to career model. Prior to this, Jon was an Assistant Headteacher at Reach Academy Felt-ham. He has taught across both KS1 and KS2, and also tutors on Ambition Institute's Masters in Expert Teaching. Jon has taken part in expert panels for the Department for Education, Ofsted and the Standards and Testing Agency. For the last ten years or so, Jon has been deeply involved in developing a knowledge-based curriculum at key stage two. Harking back to my recent conversation with Professor Michael Young, Jon describes this project as designing and creating resources and approaches that give every child access to the powerful knowledge they need to flourish, whilst reducing teacher workload and improving subject knowledge across the curriculum. But we began our conversation talking about things we disagree on - and so if and if agreeable disagreement is your thing, you'll find plenty to chew over here.
