Quinn Mendelson is Conservation Program Director of Rocky Mountain Youth Corps, a nonprofit that trains young adults to do conservation work in the "outdoor classroom" of New Mexico's landscapes. Not only do they learn skills like trail building, watershed restoration, and wildfire mitigation, but they also receive training that helps them to get jobs—as well as less quantifiable but just as important life skills like getting along with each other, finding their own authentic voices, and being in nature for long periods.

In this episode of Nonlinear Learning, we challenge the conventional path parents often take when preparing children with disabilities for higher education. We discuss why focusing solely on life skills, physical independence, and basic academics can leave students unprepared for the real demands of college. Instead, I outline the true foundation that fosters genuine readiness for higher education and guess what - there is a key factor there - MOTIVATION. How do we build that?  Tune in to learn more. You'll discover: Why physical independence, while valuable, doesn't guarantee college readiness. How fluent academic communication—whether through speech, AAC, or spelling-based systems—unlocks learning potential. and more...

In the second part of a dialog with Parents in Sport founder, Gordon MacLelland, the conversation goes onto discuss the importance of resilience and normalising failure in sports when communicating with children.   Such discussions between parents, coaches and children can help kids develop positive coping mechanisms.  David and Gordon also touched on the potential risks of early specialisation in sports at a young age, such as burnout, overuse injuries and the potential to drop out from the sport altogether.  The benefits of diversifying sports participation and the importance of developing multifaceted kids were also talked about. Key Learning Points: ·        Seek to focus on long-term development, such as aspects of mental toughness and resilience, rather than just results and outcomes. ·       Get to know yourself as a parent  as well as your child, seeking to improve your self-awareness. ·        Understand what burnout in sport symptoms are for your children. ·        Encourage regular check-ins between coaches/organisations and parents to manage expectations. ·        Explore ways to better support and train coaches and volunteers in sports clubs to have more effective conversations with parents.

In this episode of Literally First Class, host Keri Ford discusses the importance of establishing tech boundaries for children to promote mental health and family connection. She shares personal experiences and practical strategies for managing technology use in the household, emphasizing the significance of family meals, encouraging life skills, and fostering imagination. Keri highlights the need for presence and connection in parenting, urging listeners to prioritize quality time with their kids over material possessions and digital distractions.   Takeaways: Tech boundaries are essential for mental health. Family meals foster connection and communication. Old technology can be a fun alternative for kids. Encouraging boredom can spark creativity. Presence with children is more valuable than material gifts. Social media often presents an illusion of reality. Kids crave quality time with their parents. Establishing tech rules early can prevent future conflicts. Involving kids in daily life teaches valuable skills. Real connection is vital for family dynamics.   Episode Resources: Book your free 15-minute Somatic Strategy Call with Jalena (no sales pitch, just a free nervous system audit)!

Morning Mantra: “Two things to remember: Take care of your thoughts when you are alone and take care of your words when you are not.”I'll admit it, I get in my head too much. My thoughts can create drama, suspense, fear, anger, and a host of other emotions. So, I try to remember that I create my reality through my thoughts. I am the one HAVING the thoughts and that most of the time my thoughts are not based on what's really happening.If I let my thoughts spin out of control it can lead to “words I wish I hadn't spoken” when I am around others. So, I practice the pause and try to wait a few moments and collect my thoughts before my mouth runs away with me.These two life skills can save you from a great deal of misunderstanding and suffering. What are your ways to stop racing thoughts or a run away mouth?#BeInControlOfYourThoughtsAndMouth #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Are we really setting our kids up for success in the real world? From burnt spaghetti to budgeting fails, this episode dives into the seven critical life skills every parent should teach their child before they fly the nest — unless you want them boomeranging back! This is the essential parenting checklist for raising capable, confident, and independent adults. KEY POINTS Get Organised & Be ProductiveTeens need to know how to manage time, set alarms, prioritise, and follow through on responsibilities — no one else is going to do it for them. Keep a Tidy House & Maintain HygieneBasic cleaning and personal hygiene habits matter. No one wants to live with (or date) someone who never cleans the bathroom. Cook Three Basic MealsTwo-minute noodles don't count! Being able to whip up three decent meals is a non-negotiable adulting skill. Research & Make Informed DecisionsFrom phone plans to uni courses, help your teen learn how to ask questions, compare options, and confidently choose what's right. Understand Basic BudgetingTrack spending, avoid debt traps, and save for goals — money smarts start at home. Regulate EmotionsTeach your teen to handle stress, setbacks, and big feelings without a meltdown (or a phone call to Mum every time). Navigate Conflict ConstructivelyKnowing how to disagree without destroying a relationship is key — whether it's a fight with a friend or a tricky work conversation. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “The goal isn’t to send them out perfect. It’s to send them out capable — and make ourselves redundant in the process.” RESOURCES MENTIONED happyfamilies.com.au for parenting tools, resources, and workshops. ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS 1. Do a life skills audit — which of these seven has your child mastered?2. Model these behaviours daily: routines, budgeting, cooking, conflict resolution.3. Involve your child in real-life decisions (like comparing phone plans or budgeting for groceries).4. Use mistakes as teachable moments, not failures.5. Celebrate independence, even if it’s just cleaning the bathroom without being asked!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mac and Andy dive into some real talk about the mindset of preparedness, how we influence the next generation, and what it means to live with intention. If you're a parent who wants to raise street-smart, mentally strong kids, this one's for you.

 In a world where “self-help” ($34 billion) and mental health ($83 billion) are billion-dollar businesses, they ask: Why do so many adults struggle with life?It is simple yet profound: No one taught them the craft of living well, he says.Think about this: Teaching kids' sports skills at an early age is common.Yet many ignore instructing their kids “proven practices” to think, solve problems, and build good relationships. These are the very skills that lead to happiness and a better world.At the I Believe in Me Foundation, they are changing that.Most of us learn life skills from our families, pop culture, and hard knocks. A few people stumble upon powerful life skills, and many do not.What happens?Adults stop growing in their personal and professional lives. Depression, Chronic Stress, and Anxiety. A life of discontent and a search for meaning, struggling with self-doubt and a lack of capability.Their call is to end the cycle and teach kids life-enhancing skills they will use for a lifetime.Here's What they Do, they Give Scholarships, they empower tweens and families with Life Intelligence Skills for lifelong success and happiness regardless of financial resources. https://ibelieveinmefoundation.com/ https://believebecomebeyou.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org
