This episode of the Lloyd's List podcast was brought to you by Lloyd's Register — visit www.lr.org/en for more information THE multi-fuel future of shipping is looking more limited than it was a year ago. We know what the three major molecules are – methane, methanol and ammonia. But this isn't a question of picking a fuel and supporting it as if it were a sports team to be followed blindly. Shipowners are largely agnostic and very pragmatic when it comes to options of the table. This is not just about the fuel ,or the availability of technology and engines, or the regulation, or the carbon pricing, or the offtake agreements and demand signals, or the fact that shipping is in a long queue of other sectors competing for the same supply of molecules – it's about all of these competing dynamics and the fact that owners have to balance decisions that need to be taken now against the uncertain outcome of all of these factors. And in the midst of all that uncertainty the pragmatic view of the immediate choices available to shipping appears to be coalescing around LNG. Now that's still a controversial view in some quarters –methane slip, a greenhouse gas 82 times more potent than carbon dioxide – remains a cause for concern. But LNG is a fuel in transition, rather than a transitional fuel, runs the argument. When you consider bio-LNG and synthetic LNG, and the ability to combine LNG with carbon capture there is a compelling case for the industry to now converge on LNG as the most pragmatic available pathway right now. Joining Richard on the podcast this week: Melissa Williams, president of Shell Marine Bud Darr, executive vice president of maritime policy and government affairs at Mediterranean Shipping Company Stelios Troulis, Angelicoussis Group energy transition and sustainability director

For both children and adults, stress creates not only an emotional response but a physical response in the body. From everyday effects to longterm health complications, our bodies reflect our state of mind. With young children whose communication skills are still not well-developed, adults often mistake behavioral signs of stress for “bad behavior.” Because of this, parents might miss an opportunity to address the source of the stress, whether it is a traumatic event or a more ordinary challenge in the home or classroom.   This week's guest, Megan Appelwick, an occupational therapist at St. David's Center for Child and Family Development (SDC), helps unpack the way stress can manifest in the body. She also discusses how to identify behaviors that may be tied to stress and outlines strategies for helping children who are struggling. Highlighting how occupational therapy can be an effective complement to mental health services, Megan offers practical – and playful – ways to help both parents and kids learn to navigate difficult transitions and challenging circumstances. Her tips include healthy stress-management skills to last a lifetime. Marti & Erin thank SDC for providing this informative 3-part series on Stress and Resilience, and for being a long-time supporting partner of the Mom Enough®.   WHAT HAVE YOU NOTICED ABOUT THE WAYS STRESS SHOWS UP IN YOUR CHILD'S BEHAVIOR?

How do those tips differ from the way you have responded to what seemed like intentional “bad behavior” on your child's part?   WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT STRESS & RESILIENCE? ❉ STRESS AND RESILIENCE: NURTURING HEALTHY EMOTIONAL RESPONSES IN CHILDREN AND PARENTS, PART 2 OF 3. How do you know when your baby or young child is experiencing ongoing stress? And how does the way you manage your own stress affect how your child learns to handle stress and build resilience? This episode of Mom Enough® is the second of a 3-part series on Stress and Resilience, brought to you by St. David's Center for Child and Family Development. Therapist and Senior Program Director Paula Frisk highlights the importance of the early parent-infant relationship as both a buffer against toxic stress and a powerful means by which young children learn to regulate emotions and reflect on their own feelings and actions.   ❉ STRESS & RESILIENCE: NURTURING HEALTHY EMOTIONAL RESPONSES IN CHILDREN AND PARENTS, PART 1 OF 2. Melissa Williams, therapist and program director at St. David's Center for Child and Family Development, joins Marti & Erin for this first podcast of a three-part series that will help you learn how stress affects your child and you.

Tune into the first episode of our previous series on self-regulation with Melissa Williams from St. David's Center. This engaging and practical discussion highlights what is involved in co-regulation, with an emphasis on how to show, tell and practice together with our children. Melissa also highlights the importance of “rupture and repair,” describing how we can admit our mistakes at those times when we get it wrong with our kids (as we all do!), say we are sorry and tell our child what we will try to do differently the next time.   ❉ DISCOVERING WHAT WILL HELP YOUR CHILD DEVELOP SELF-REGULATION SKILLS: DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS. One of the major developmental tasks in early childhood is self-regulation, which includes establishing healthy patterns of eating, sleeping and other routines. Even as older children and adults, we struggle with regulation at times, which can disrupt learning, relationships and other aspects of our lives.

How do you know when your baby or young child is experiencing ongoing stress? In what ways does the way you manage your own stress affect how your child learns to handle stress and build resilience? And, how does the parent-infant relationship buffer stress?   This episode of Mom Enough® is the second of a 3-part series on Stress and Resilience, brought to you by St. David's Center for Child and Family Development. Therapist and Senior Program Director Paula Frisk highlights the importance of the early parent-infant relationship as both a buffer against toxic stress and a powerful means by which young children learn to regulate emotions and reflect on their own feelings and actions. In her conversation with Marti & Erin, Paula addresses causes of infant stress, ways babies and young children show their stress, and how parents' own reflective capacity and mindfulness help children develop the same. Of course, to provide reflective, mindful care, parents need support for themselves -- from family, community and society as a whole, including acknowledgement of how important the often-challenging job of parenting is, not only for our children but for the health and wellbeing of society.   HOW CAN YOU NURTURE HEALTHY EMOTIONAL RESPONSES AND BUFFER STRESS FOR YOUR CHILD AND YOURSELF ? In this episode of Mom Enough®, therapist Paula Frisk encourages us to “get curious about the meaning of” our child's behavior and our own. Reflect for a moment on a recent difficult interaction with your baby or young child. Describe your child's behavior and your own in this situation and note what you think each of your behavior meant. If you encountered a similarly challenging situation tomorrow, what could you do differently that would be more helpful to your child and yourself?   WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT STRESS & RESILIENCE? ❉ STRESS & RESILIENCE: NURTURING HEALTHY EMOTIONAL RESPONSES IN CHILDREN AND PARENTS, PART 1 OF 2.

It is inevitable that we experience stress at every stage of our life. In fact, we need a certain level of stress or challenge to drive action. But when stress is too intense, frequent or sustained, it becomes toxic. Especially for children, when there is not a caring, comforting adult available to buffer the effects of stress, it inhibits learning and development. Stress without a supportive, responsive adult makes it hard for a child to form positive relationships, gain new skills and enjoy everyday life free of fear.   Melissa Williams, therapist and program director at St. David's Center for Child and Family Development, joins Marti & Erin for this first podcast of a three-part series that will help you learn how stress affects your child and you. Melissa discusses the stress response in children, toxic stress and its effect on children's development, and how we can respond to the effects of toxic stress.

This week, David leads us in a discussion of Cleveland Police mistaking a car backfiring as gunshots being fired at them. When police pulled over Melissa Williams and Timothy Williams, the first officer let them go having no reason to issue them a ticket or believe them to be doing anything illegal. However, as the car pulled away, it backfired several times causing Cleveland Police to send out 62 units among several cities. This tragic “accident” would result in the deaths of two unarmed, innocent citizens.Support the show

I had such a great discussion with Melissa Williams-Gurian for this episode. I'm grateful Melissa was willing to speak with me because she doesn't do this work professionally; she shares with us from her own personal experience of losing her mom when she was 15. Perhaps this is around the ages some of our kids were. Talking with people who lost a parent at a young age is always such a privilege. It puts things on my radar screen that I wouldn't have necessarily thought of. It helps raise my awareness and increase my understanding of what kids go through when they lose a parent, and what their experiences may be like. I hope it helps increase your awareness and understanding, too. -=-=-=-=- Thank you sponsors & partners: Help Texts - Grief support text messaging service.

On this episode, our guests discuss how postmortem tissue donation can provide meaning to patients and their loved ones.   TRANSCRIPT Dr. Shannon Westin: Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of JCO After Hours. This is when we get in-depth on articles that are published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. I am your host, Shannon Westin, GYN Oncologist and Social Media Editor of the JCO. Excited to be here today to discuss a really awesome paper. It was a Comments and Controversies named “Postmortem Tissue Donation: Giving Families the Ability to Choose,” just published on August 26th, 2022. And I'm joined by a number of the authors. It's going to be a really incredible discussion. I'd like to introduce each of them, and then we'll get right down to it. First is Allen Gustafson. He is the founder of the Swifty Foundation, which he started with his son, Michael, who sadly died in 2013 of medulloblastoma. And this foundation really was the catalyst of the group Gift from a Child, which we're going to really discuss today. In addition, I'm accompanied by Dr. Angela Waanders, the Interim Head of Neuro-Oncology and the Director of Precision Medicine and Associate Professor at the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago; Beth Frenkel, a Tissue Navigator at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia; and Dr. Mateusz Koptyra, a Senior Scientist and the Director of the Center for Data-Driven Discovery in Biomedicine at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. So, thank you all for being here. I'm so excited to discuss this paper. I think this is something that our listeners are going to be really interested in and really want to move forward. So, welcome. Allen Gustafson: Thank you. Dr. Mateusz Koptyra: Good morning. Dr. Shannon Westin: So, let's get started. You know, postmortem tissue donation is so critical for research and improving outcomes for our survivors. I think the best way to start, I'd be very interested to hear how each of you got involved with this. And Allen, let's start with you because I think that your story is so important. Allen Gustafson: Sure. Thanks, Shannon. Well, as you mentioned, our son, Michael, died of medulloblastoma in 2013 at the age of 15, and probably about four months before he died, he knew his life was going to end. And he got the idea of donating his body to science, so they could use him to find the cure. And he used to refer to that as his master plan. So, obviously, that charge was put on his mom and I to figure out how he could do that. And although we were being treated by two excellent hospitals, one here in Chicago and one in Boston, they were not helpful in terms of helping us with his final wish. And so, it was really through Nancy Goodman from Kids vs Cancer and his pediatrician going above and beyond the call of duty that Michael was finally able to donate his spine and his brain, some of which was sent to Texas Children's and some of it was sent to SickKids. And it became both very meaningful for him as his life ended, and it was also very meaningful for us in terms of the important step we took as a family in our grieving and our loss of him. And as you mentioned, our work with the Swifty Foundation, really, his choice there was prescient, in that we didn't realize how important postmortem collection is for advancing scientific discovery, nor did we realize how important this could be for other families. So, it all started with his experience in terms of our journey with Gift from a Child. Dr. Shannon Westin: That's so incredible. I'm so glad that you chose to do this work. Dr. Waanders, do you want to pipe in? Dr. Angela Waanders: Yes. So, I think reflecting back, it really was a serendipitous moment in meeting with Patti and Al. I can still remember it was in 2016, I believe, at a Children's Brain Tumor Network annual meeting. I'm a Physician Scientist, a practicing Neuro-Oncologist, and at the time, I was in the laboratory trying to dissect out, why do children die from brain tumors. I was also taking care of children who were losing their battle. And so, a couple of years prior, I had been trying to figure out how to set up a postmortem or a research-based autopsy program. I knew from talking to some of my own families and helping to make it happen, it was really important and meaningful to them. But the logistics were beyond me as a single provider. You know, it really takes a lot of logistics going from the initial conversation, to how to make it happen. And so, one of my colleagues, Dr. Rishi Lulla, introduced me to Patti and Al. We realized we had a shared mission. And so, I've been very fortunate and grateful to be involved in this project. And, you know, including some of the comments from the paper, as well as meeting and talking with families, and seeing even the larger scope, families do want us to ask. This is meaningful for many families. And it's a really special moment for me as a provider in any of the autopsies that I help to coordinate with our Tissue Navigator, Melissa Williams, at our hospital, we do try to have a follow-up conversation with families when they are ready, and those conversations are just so meaningful. I have several stories of things that I hadn't even imagined would be meaningful to families. And so, to me, this has really been something that wearing both hats as both a physician, and a scientist, that is one of my projects, and things that I've been involved with that I think will have the biggest impact when I look back at the end of my career. Dr. Shannon Westin: I completely agree with you. Dr. Koptyra, I'd be interested to hear your perspective of how you got involved with this. Dr. Mateusz Koptyra: Hello. So, working as a scientist at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, I actually had the privilege of also working with Dr. Angela Waanders here at CHOP. And part of my scientific effort was really focused on utilizing biospecimens into research. And specifically in the lab, we are generating two more models which can be used in wet bench research that specifically relates to cell lines or xenograft models used in science to explore tumor biology, novel therapeutics, et cetera. And at that point, Angela actually introduced me to the Gift from a Child program. And initially, I offered my assistance, but quickly realized how working with the Gift from a Child program and with Swifty Foundation, adds additional meaning to our daily work in the laboratory. So, from initial assistance, I quickly became fully engaged in the process of tissue banking, processing, and model generation out of specimens we received on their website. Until today, I'm leading that effort on the laboratory side here at CHOP. Dr. Shannon Westin: Thank you. And then Beth, I think we'd be interested to hear your perspective as well. Beth Frenkel: So, thank you very much for having me. I started my career as a funeral director. I did that for about 10 years or so before moving into organ and tissue transplant. My job, specifically, was advocating with our community and our healthcare partners to make sure that every family was given the opportunity to donate, to help others. What really got me into my job here with Gift from a Child is that my mom was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor, and there were no treatment options for her at all. And so, after her death, it really led me to start researching brain tumors and to see the lack of treatments, not only for some adults, but for all of these kids. So, that's what really made me seek out this opportunity with Gift from a Child, and to work with all of these wonderful people to try to help these kids find better treatments and cures. Dr. Shannon Westin: You all have such incredible stories, and it's so inspiring to see people take terrible things that have happened to you and make it into something so much more positive. So, I'm so inspired by all of you. I know personally as a surgeon and a physician, I sometimes feel really uncomfortable approaching the idea of postmortem tissue collection with patients. So, I think one important aspect of it is—you know, of course, we've talked a little bit about the positive impact on research, but can you all speak a little bit more about how family members actually may benefit from this practice in being offered this opportunity? Allen Gustafson: I'd be happy to start. I think I can speak both from a personal experience, as well as from the many families we've spoken to and surveyed. I think the number one reason families want to make this choice is to help other families. I mean, it's the one bit of light that can come from perhaps the darkest time a family is ever going to go through. I know that's what prompted our son, Michael, in his words, to help as many as he can. And as we talk to other families, that is their principal reason for giving, as well as certainly to create a legacy for their child. As I mentioned, our son was older, so it also gave him some personal meaning at the end of his life. And helpful in the grieving process, both to know that your loss may be benefiting another, but also the researchers that have received Michael's tissue have been keeping up with us in terms of publications that his tissue has helped fuel. And there was even a protocol change in how recurrent medullo is dealt with that Michael's tissue was a part of. So, again, to know that is so gratifying for the family. Dr. Shannon Westin: I think that just knowing that and hearing that from personal experience should, hopefully, help our practitioners that are listening feel more comfortable with approaching it. The consensus conference that you all discussed in the paper, how did this come to be? What drove that discussion and where people ended up? Angela, if you want to tackle that? Dr. Angela Waanders: I can take this question. So, the consensus meeting in 2018 happened in Philadelphia when I was still at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. It came out of a conversation with Patti and Al. We really wanted to dive down deep into understanding what barriers existed. I knew from the clinician side, it's uncomfortable. It is a really difficult question to broach, and so, we thought that from hearing from families-- and we specifically chose a mix of families that were able to donate and those who were not able, or who hadn't been asked, and it's a meeting that will forever stick in my head, just the moments and things that I would not have imagined. And I think for all of us who were involved, the families that did not have the option to donate, or who weren't asked, I think the quotes and the comments from those families were the most memorable. To kind of step back a little bit in how I became involved in this too, it's trying to make sense of the nonsensical. I mean, children should not die from brain cancer, and children should not die from brain and spinal cord tumors. We are uncovering the biology, the past decade has been really exciting from a biology standpoint, but having matched specimens from the time of diagnosis to time of death, will really answer crucial questions, which are, why do children die? And so, as clinicians, we just kind of need to get out of our own way, get out of the discomfort of asking, and, I think this is something that our generation of physicians are modeling. Another big aspect of this too, and I think this came out of the consensus meeting in 2018 and is important to continue to illustrate and emphasize; tissue that's taken, you know, this precious tissue, this precious gift, the mandate is to share it broadly. So, we did develop standard operating procedures so that we can try and make cell lines, we can have matched tissue for DNA and RNA extraction, protein extraction, we can look at areas of tumor, areas that don't look like tumor. And with the understanding, this tissue will be shared as broadly to every laboratory who is studying brain cancer or something relevant, and that the findings from this precious tissue will also be redeposited or shared again. So, this really is a legacy of life and celebrating the life of these children who've lost their battle. Allen Gustafson: If I can add one thing on the consensus meeting that the other great thing that came from that, we wanted to query families about how clinicians should talk to them, or what's the best way to talk about this very sensitive subject? And we were right at the beginning of our Gift from a Child, creating the program. And so, our website and our materials have all been influenced by the input of these families. And so, we created these to help clinicians with this very difficult conversation. And that consensus meeting really helped us understand as best we can understand any individual family, how to communicate this very, very sensitive subject at such a very difficult time in their family's journey. Dr. Mateusz Koptyra: If I can add something as well, I actually had this privilege during, and after that conference to provide a tour for some of these families around the laboratory, and kind of refers to us into your former question a bit, but I was able to show the biorepository where the tissue is stored as well as laboratory and some cell lines and models, which we created in the laboratory. And one thing which was really striking and filling, and in words which were shared by those families, the fact that some of donated tissue, some of these families actually already donated tissue, that some of those tissues are within this biorepository, that some of the cell lines we have might be specifically from the tissue from their children, brought this almost like continuity of their life and the second meaning to family's life, just by possibility of being together in this laboratory and seeing that those models work. Talking about investigators who actually share those specimens had exactly the same effect, bringing this kind of closure to the fact that this tissue still brings meaning on a daily basis. Dr. Shannon Westin: It's wonderful. You know, Allen, I wanted to kind of expand a little bit on something that you started talking about around “best practices for requesting” because I really do think that's a huge-- one of the huge barriers is that we feel uncomfortable as clinicians in asking. And so, I'd be interested to hear a little bit more about what are the best ways to approach this, and to give these families this opportunity. Allen Gustafson: Well, I can certainly give the parent point of view on this. First, I would say that our Oncologist and the healthcare team helped us make difficult decisions throughout Michael's cancer treatment and had a lot of very difficult conversations with us. And so as a family, we would see this perhaps as another difficult conversation to have in the journey of our son's cancer. And again, I would encourage physicians to think about it like that, because they are quite practiced in having difficult conversations with family members. I think the best time that obviously, this conversation would be received by a family is when it becomes clear that our child is not going to survive their cancer, or perhaps when they enter into hospice. Again, it's such a difficult time for us. And it may be the case that we don't respond particularly well to what the clinician has to offer. And I know, you know, throughout Michael's cancer journey, I wasn't always at my finest hour with my Oncologist in terms of my response to what he had to tell me. So, that certainly may be true here as well, but again, I think the more important thing here is that it's really the family's choice to decide. And like other choices that are made throughout our child's cancer journey, we deserve to make an informed consent about that. And so, this is another opportunity, I think, for those of us whose children don't survive their cancer, to make another important informed consent. Dr. Shannon Westin: Thank you. Angela, you've done this so much. I would love to hear your perspective from the other side. Dr. Angela Waanders: So, with asking, it's a big thing of, this is a cultural change too. On an individual level, when I'm talking with one of my own families that I'm guiding through a cancer journey, I usually bring it up at the time when we're talking about, "Your child's cancer may still be treatable, but it's not going to be curable." And so, opening up the conversation to what is important to you, what is meaningful to you as a family, knowing that the cancer will ultimately take your child's life. And so, during that part of the conversation, I usually bring it up as an option and say, “You know, one thing that I have found that some families find very meaningful when they know that their child is dying from cancer, is to donate, and we do have a research-based autopsy effort.” I go into just a very brief description of it, and I read the room. Some families you can tell, like they are too shocked, too overwhelmed, to even broach that conversation. And so, I say, "You know, we can talk about this at a later time." Or if it seems like it may be a hard “no,” initially, just not interested at all, or just it's not a topic that they want to broach at that time, I do say, "You know, let's keep the conversation open, and I may bring this up again later, or please feel free to bring it up to me again later." One of the key messages we try to convey is to try and do things beforehand, if at all possible, and also explain the process once a family expresses interest. Because it is foreign, it is unknown. As Beth was bringing up earlier, you know, with her prior experiences with Gift of Life, there was a time in the US when organ donation was unfathomable. And now I think for many of us, it is just a commonplace, it is something we automatically state. So, it would be very nice for us to have that cultural change within our field, within Oncology, within Medicine in general. An important part though is, when I ask, I know I can make it happen. And I think too, for many physicians, many clinicians, and this is where the Gift from a Child program has been so important and really a game-changer in making this happen, is I know when I ask, and I bring up the conversation, that I can make it happen. And that is one thing we truly try and convey to any clinician who expresses interest. We talk with them, “Here's the process, this is what you need to do, and this is how we can make it happen." So, I think from both getting out of my own way of the discomfort of asking the question, modeling the behaviors with our trainees, I do oftentimes have our fellows, or our residents in those meetings when I'm having these difficult conversations. And then also just conveying and making sure that logistically we know we can help make this happen. Dr. Shannon Westin: Great. Beth, I don't know if you have any thoughts kind of from the Navigator perspective. I'd love to hear. Beth Frenkel: Yeah, sure. I definitely agree with Angela that I think when we're dealing with clinicians, one of their biggest concerns is that it's going to be a lot of work for them. And that's when the role of the Tissue Navigator takes over, is that we don't need a lot of involvement from the family clinician, they aren't as involved as they would like to be, but that's our job, is to coordinate all the logistics. We work with the families, we work on getting consents, we take care of any kind of processing of the tissue, shipping. So really, what we're looking for from the clinician is the referral. We're just looking for them to bring up that topic with the family and give them the opportunity to make an informed decision about if they would like to donate their child's tissue. Dr. Shannon Westin: Great. And then Allen, you mentioned something and I was interested in this overall, you know, you said that the researcher kind of was keeping you in the loop and letting you know what the tissue was utilized for. Is that pretty standard as far as accountability, or what measures are in place to kind of keep families in the loop? Allen Gustafson: When we started this, one of the values here for us was that the researchers who would receive our children's tissue would be excellent stewards of that tissue. And one way, in our mind, to ensure that excellent stewardship is transparency. And so, as a family member, we can stay abreast-- and again, this is not for every family member, but most family members do choose to want to know what's happening with their child's tissue, in terms of how it's being used in the lab, how it perhaps is fueling a study or a publication, and God willing, perhaps improving treatments for future children. So, that is really an important aspect of this whole process. Dr. Shannon Westin: Great. Dr. Angela Waanders: And Shannon, we have families, from my experience, that they kind of make it a yearly thing. Like, on the child's birthday, they'll reach out and ask, "Hey, is there any update on how my child's tissue is being used?" Or maybe they were just thinking about it one day, and they'll send an email and ask, "Hey, can you give me any updates?" So, the donation isn't finished after the actual autopsy is complete, we develop a relationship with these families that lasts forever. And they can feel comfortable to reach out at any time with any questions, or if they want an update. And I think that's also a way that the Gift from a Child program is so different from any other postmortem donation program. Dr. Shannon Westin: It really is so inspiring, and it makes me want to figure out how to do this and within our own field. I think the time is flown by, and I'm so grateful to all of you. I think the last piece would be just to make sure that everyone listening, where can families learn more about the process, and what's the best way for also clinicians to check in on what you all are doing? Allen Gustafson: Probably the easiest way to do that is through the website, which is: giftfromachild.org. There, you'll be able to find all the information you need, to get in touch with the Navigator. Families have access to a 24-hour hotline that they can call at any time. And their call will be answered within 24 hours, and that hotline works for clinicians as well. So, that would be the best place to start, I think. Dr. Shannon Westin: Well, thank you. Thank you all so much for all of your work and this amazing paper. And I hope everyone does go and check it out again.

How do you know when your baby or young child is experiencing ongoing stress? And how does the way you manage your own stress affect how your child learns to handle stress and build resilience?   This episode of Mom Enough® is the second of a 3-part series on Stress and Resilience, brought to you by St. David's Center for Child and Family Development. Therapist and Senior Program Director Paula Frisk highlights the importance of the early parent-infant relationship as both a buffer against toxic stress and a powerful means by which young children learn to regulate emotions and reflect on their own feelings and actions. In her conversation with Marti & Erin, Paula addresses causes of infant stress, ways babies and young children show their stress, and how parents' own reflective capacity and mindfulness help children develop the same. Of course, to provide reflective, mindful care, parents need support for themselves -- from family, community and society as a whole, including acknowledgement of how important the often-challenging job of parenting is, not only for our children but for the health and wellbeing of society.   HOW CAN YOU NURTURE HEALTHY EMOTIONAL RESPONSES IN YOUR CHILD AND YOURSELF ? In this episode of Mom Enough®, therapist Paula Frisk encourages us to “get curious about the meaning of” our child's behavior and our own. Reflect for a moment on a recent difficult interaction with your baby or young child. Describe your child's behavior and your own in this situation and note what you think each of your behavior meant. If you encountered a similarly challenging situation tomorrow, what could you do differently that would be more helpful to your child and yourself?   WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT STRESS & RESILIENCE? ❉ STRESS & RESILIENCE: NURTURING HEALTHY EMOTIONAL RESPONSES IN CHILDREN AND PARENTS, PART 1 OF 2. Melissa Williams, therapist and program director at St. David's Center for Child and Family Development, joins Marti & Erin for this first podcast of a three-part series that will help you learn how stress affects your child and you. Melissa discusses the stress response in children, toxic stress and its effect on children's development, and how we can respond to the effects of toxic stress.   ❉ FROM CO-REGULATION TO SELF-REGULATION: PARENT-CHILD INTERACTIONS THAT PREPARE OUR CHILDREN FOR LIFE. Tune into the first episode of our previous series on self-regulation with Melissa Williams from St. David's Center. This engaging and practical discussion highlights what is involved in co-regulation, with an emphasis on how to show, tell and practice together with our children. Melissa also highlights the importance of “rupture and repair,” describing how we can admit our mistakes at those times when we get it wrong with our kids (as we all do!), say we are sorry and tell our child what we will try to do differently the next time.   ❉ DISCOVERING WHAT WILL HELP YOUR CHILD DEVELOP SELF-REGULATION SKILLS: DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS. One of the major developmental tasks in early childhood is self-regulation, which includes establishing healthy patterns of eating, sleeping and other routines. Even as older children and adults, we struggle with regulation at times, which can disrupt learning, relationships and other aspects of our lives. Robin Campbell and Cheryl Lundsgaard from St. David's Center for Child & Family Development, shed light on what self-regulation means, how we can help our children become self-regulated, and how important it is to discover what works best for each unique member of our family.

It is inevitable that we experience stress at every stage of our life. In fact, we need a certain level of stress or challenge to drive action. But when stress is too intense, frequent or sustained, it becomes toxic. Especially for children, when there is not a caring, comforting adult available to buffer the effects of stress, it inhibits learning and development. Stress without a supportive, responsive adult makes it hard for a child to form positive relationships, gain new skills and enjoy everyday life free of fear.   Melissa Williams, therapist and program director at St. David's Center for Child and Family Development, joins Marti & Erin for this first podcast of a three-part series that will help you learn how stress affects your child and you. Melissa discusses the stress response in children, toxic stress and its effect on children's development, and how we can respond to the effects of toxic stress. This three-part series will help you support your child's self-regulation and coping strategies at times of stress and expand your own healthy coping strategies at the same time. Don't miss this important discussion and those to follow in coming weeks.   WHAT STEPS WILL YOU TAKE TO MANAGE STRESS AND BUILD RESILIENCE? What are the three levels of stress Mel Williams described? What new insights did you gain about the effects of stress on babies or very young children?

The post The Hardy Realty Show – Cristin Warden with Brighter Birthdays appeared first on Business RadioX ®.

I have an extra special episode today to mark the 100th episode of Making It Count! So much has happened since my podcasting journey began and I've learned so much from my incredible guests and also about myself.    Since launching in 2018, three very significant things happened; I turned 50, Covid came along and changed the world forever and I was diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma. Through it all, I continued to release episodes, connecting with so many incredible people along the way and nearly tripling in downloads.   To celebrate this incredible milestone, I've asked the lovely Melissa Williams to jump in the host seat and interview me to help unpack the last 100 episodes. It's been interesting to reflect on the lessons I've learned, how my brand has evolved throughout this journey and how I have personally grown more brave and bold through all my experiences.    Although it was a really challenging list to narrow down, I share my top 5 episodes of all time, what I loved about them, and some of the insights that these 5 remarkable guests brought to each episode.    I'm so grateful to everyone who has joined me on this journey and for the opportunity to inspire others to make it count in their own way.  Being an occasion that is absolutely worth celebrating, I also have a special offer for you! DM at @juliehydeleads to tell me your favourite episode, what you loved most about it and you'll go in the draw to receive a FREE 45 minute coaching session with me.   LINKS: Previous episodes mentioned Georgie Harman - Mental Health in the Workplace Stephen Durkin - Transformational Leadership Where the Magic Happens - Giaan Rooney The Power of Pause – Helen Fairclough Leadership Engagement – Brian Hartzer   Connect with Julie: Instagram: @juliehydeleads Website: https://juliehyde.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When we think of preparing a child for kindergarten, we often think of teaching them letters and numbers. But one of the most important skills for making a smooth transition to kindergarten is self-regulation. That means such things as learning to express feelings in a healthy way, manage impulses, and seek out places and experiences that will calm you down or perk you up, as needed. Certain kinds of classroom environments (and certainly many outdoor learning settings) make it easier for children to develop these self-regulatory skills. And both teachers and parents play crucial roles in helping children understand feelings, needs, and effective ways to manage both.   Early childhood teacher and author, Mike Huber, of St. David's Center for Child and Family Development (SDC), joins Marti & Erin for a practical discussion of this important aspect of development. This is the third podcast of a special 3-part series on self-regulation, brought to you by SDC, a longtime supporting partner of Mom Enough. Mike's interview builds on Melissa Williams' discussion of co-regulation in infancy (July 12, 2021) and Kate Biederman's conversation about the importance of “regulatory partners” for children of any age (October 4, 2021).   WHAT WAS YOUR BIGGEST TAKEAWAY ABOUT SELF-REGULATION IN PRESCHOOL? What did Mike Huber say about the characteristics of a “regulation-based classroom” as compared to a “compliance-based classroom”? What would you watch for or ask about if you were visiting preschools to find one that would best support your child's self-regulatory skills? Based on what you have heard in all three of the podcasts in this series on self-regulation, what can you do at home to support self-regulation, whatever the ages of your children?   WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT SELF-REGULATION? ❉ FROM CO-REGULATION TO SELF-REGULATION: PARENT-CHILD INTERACTIONS THAT PREPARE OUR CHILDREN FOR LIFE. Tune into the first episode of the series on self-regulation with Melissa Williams from St. David's Center. Tune into this engaging and practical discussion about what is involved in co-regulation, with an emphasis on how to show, tell and practice together with our children. Melissa also highlights the importance of “rupture and repair,” describing how we can admit our mistakes at those times when we get it wrong with our kids (as we all do!), say we are sorry and tell our child what we will try to do differently the next time.   ❉ PROMOTING SELF-REGULATION IN CHILDREN: THE IMPORTANCE OF REGULATORY PARTNERS. Most parents can recall a moment when their child threw a tantrum. Perhaps they were frustrated that they didn't get what they wanted and fell to the floor screaming or crying? Or, maybe they missed a nap and simply couldn't handle what was being asked of them? Regardless of the situation, a tantrum may be a perfectly normal response in early childhood, but in time, a child needs to learn healthier ways to express and cope with their emotions. This is called self-regulation. Occupational therapist and health coach, Kate Biederman, from St. David's Center for Child and Family Development shares how you can join your child in the process of building self-regulation by partnering with them as they begin to develop the skills they need to be happy and healthy. Walk away with a clear understanding of the three big tasks of regulatory partners and tips for implementing these at different ages and stages. You won't want to miss this in-depth discussion on self-regulation.   ❉ HELPING CHILDREN WITH ASD IMPROVE REGULATION AND FOCUS AT HOME AND SCHOOL: A CONVERSATION WITH KATE BIEDERMAN FROM ST. DAVID'S CENTER FOR CHILD & FAMILY DEVELOPMENT.

Most parents can recall a moment when their child threw a tantrum. Perhaps they were frustrated that they didn't get what they wanted and fell to the floor screaming or crying? Or, maybe they missed a nap and simply couldn't handle what was being asked of them? Regardless of the situation, a tantrum may be a perfectly normal response in early childhood, but in time, a child needs to learn healthier ways to express and cope with their emotions. This is called self-regulation, which is the ability to manage attention, thoughts, behaviors and emotions in ways that are acceptable and healthy. So, how can parents support their child in developing healthy self-regulation?   Occupational therapist and health coach, Kate Biederman, from St. David's Center for Child and Family Development joins Marti and Erin for part 2 of a 3-part series on the development of self-regulation in childhood. She discusses the many aspects of self-regulation, from activity regulation to emotional regulation. As Kate shares, adults play an important role in supporting development by being "regulatory partners." Learn how you can join your child in the process of building self-regulation by partnering with them as they begin to develop the skills they need to be happy and healthy. Walk away with a clear understanding of the three big tasks of regulatory partners and tips for implementing these at different ages and stages. You won't want to miss this in-depth discussion on self-regulation.   HOW WILL YOU EMBRACE THE ROLE OF "REGULATORY PARTNER"? Children need regulatory partners who can provide them with support as they develop the ability to regulate their attention, activity, and emotions. What task of regulatory partners are you already embracing and how does that show up in your parenting? Are there tasks you might consider practicing more and, if so, why? How can you model self-regulation for your child at any age?   WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT SELF-REGULATION? ❉ FROM CO-REGULATION TO SELF-REGULATION: PARENT-CHILD INTERACTIONS THAT PREPARE OUR CHILDREN FOR LIFE.

DAVID'S CENTER FOR CHILD & FAMILY DEVELOPMENT. As occupational therapist Kate Biederman describes in this Mom Enough episode, some children respond well to deep touch, while others find that aversive. Many children feel calm after they engage in what Kate calls “heavy work,” which includes climbing on a jungle gym or jumping on a mini-trampoline. While noise can be dysregulating, music with certain rhythms can be regulating and organizing. An uncluttered home environment and an unhurried schedule can help almost any child be calmer and more focused. As adults and children discover together what works, children ideally can build the self-awareness and independence to do what's necessary when they begin to feel dysregulated. As Marti & Erin attest, it's not only people with ASD who need to develop self-awareness and effective regulation. In our busy, noisy, fast-paced lives, these skills matter to all of us!   ❉ DISCOVERING WHAT WILL HELP YOUR CHILD DEVELOP SELF-REGULATION SKILLS: DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS. One of the major developmental tasks in early childhood is self-regulation, which includes establishing healthy patterns of eating, sleeping and other routines. Even as older children and adults,
