Episode Overview: In this episode, I explore the importance of building strong connections with children and being a dependable figure in their lives, especially in early childhood education settings. I reflect on key insights from the book Hold On to Your Kids by Dr. Gordon Neufeld and Dr. Gabor Maté, particularly on the dangers of peer orientation and how it impacts children's behaviour. I also share practical tips for creating a stable, connected environment for the children in your care. Key Points: Peer Orientation vs. Adult Connection: When children don't have strong connections with adults, they often turn to their peers for guidance, which can lead to behavioural and emotional challenges. As educators, we play a vital role in helping children form secure attachments by being the steady, reliable adults they can trust. Supporting Behaviour Through Connection: Children need us to be consistent and dependable. When we create a stable, predictable environment, we help them feel safe, which is key to managing behaviour and fostering emotional security. It's not about being perfect; it's about showing up in a grounded and confident way so children know they can rely on us. Dependability in Practice: Being dependable means setting clear boundaries and routines. Children feel more secure when they know what to expect each day. Simple choices, like offering a child the option of wearing a red jumper or a yellow one, give them a sense of control without overwhelming them. The Power of Routine: I talk about the importance of keeping the environment familiar and not changing things too often. When we provide consistency, it helps children feel settled and connected. Think about how disorienting it is when a supermarket changes its layout—it's the same for children when their environment is constantly being altered. Stability is key. Practical Tips for Educators: I share some personal strategies for staying calm and centred as an educator, like taking a few minutes to reset your energy when you're feeling overwhelmed. Engaging children in everyday tasks, like folding washing, can create moments of connection, especially when a child is struggling. Upcoming Events: I'm so excited to announce the Big Hearted Education Conference, happening in June! This will be an amazing opportunity for family daycare providers to connect, learn, and grow. Also, doors for the Essential Elements program open on October 14th. This is a great chance for educators to deepen their practice and build stronger relationships with the children in their care.

Vincent Thibault joins Craig to discuss the dance between movement and mindfulness, and the balance of effort and ease in training Art du Déplacement. You don't have to pretend that you're in top shape. If you're not in top shape that very day you just do what you can. You can be yourself and the whole notion of ease is actually very profound, and that's where my personal training connects with meditation […] One of the first things we learn with Buddhist Meditation is to be friends with yourself. I don't want to confuse the whole discussion and mix our metaphors here, but there's this notion of learning to be friends with your own mind, and that can translate into the way you approach movement and any kind of training. ~ Vincent Thibault 35:55 Vincent, a dedicated Buddhist practitioner, engages with Craig in a dynamic conversation encompassing spiritual insights merged with movement philosophy. They discuss the balance between effort and ease within training, stressing the importance of adapting to personal circumstances over time. They touch on Buddhist teachings in the context of physical discipline, emphasizing mindfulness, authentic connection, and embracing change as core tenets of their practice. [Connection] also means that you could be connected to the people who have been practicing this before you. Whether you've learned from the Yamakasi or somebody else, you can acknowledge that. You can appreciate what you've received from them. And there's also connection with the people who will come after you. Because—sorry to deliver the news—but you won't be there forever and you won't be coaching forever if you're a coach. And you won't be moving in the same way forever, and you don't know when you're going to see it. ~ Vincent Thibault 37:30 Throughout their exchange, Vincent and Craig explore the nuances of effort in training, highlighting the significance of finding ease alongside dedication. They go into the broader concept of 'connection,' extending beyond physicality to encompass energy levels, environment, and a respectful acknowledgment of both predecessors and successors in the discipline. They discuss how cultivating internal ease can transcend into disciplined practices, fostering mindfulness and self-acceptance. Vincent underlines the necessity of adaptation, advocating for working with present circumstances rather than fixating on an idealized version of practice. Takeaways Effort and Ease — Vincent emphasizes the balance between effort and ease in training, stressing the importance of finding fulfillment in the process rather than solely fixating on results. Connection Beyond Physicality — The notion of connection expands to encompass various dimensions, including relationships with training partners, acknowledgment of predecessors, and a connection to one's own energy levels and environment. Adaptation as Vital — The conversation underscores the significance of adapting to circumstances, encouraging practitioners to work with their current situation rather than against it. Integration of Buddhist Philosophy — Buddhist principles blend with movement philosophy, highlighting mindfulness, authenticity, and self-acceptance as integral components of disciplined practice. Authenticity in Practice — Being authentic with oneself and others in training is emphasized, encouraging individuals to be genuine about their abilities, limitations, and present state of being.

(Written with help from Chat-GPT.) --- Why does Movers Mindset exist? The purpose of Movers Mindset is to create and share great conversations with movement enthusiasts. Each conversation feeds my insatiable curiosity, but I share them to turn on a light for someone else, to inspire them, or to give them their next question. In the podcast, I talk with movement enthusiasts to learn who they are, what they do, and why they do it. I'm interested in the nature and philosophy of movement and in exploring themes like independence, self-direction, and human excellence. My interests color each conversation and provide some structure to Movers Mindset. But since I like to take the scenic route, every conversation ends up going somewhere unique. I really appreciate your time and attention, and I don't take it for granted. --- I need your support I want to share more of these amazing conversations, with amazing people, but I'm limited by the cost of the project. Please support what I'm doing. Every dollar really makes a difference. Since 2017, I've spent countless hours and dollars keeping Movers Mindset going. Everything has remained free and ad-free and alive thanks to patronage from listeners like you. I have no staff, no assistant… it's just one maniac with a mic and a keyboard. If this labor of love makes your life more livable in any way, please consider aiding said maniac's sustenance… Support my work --- Thank you! My personal mission is creating better conversations to spread understanding and compassion. And Movers Mindset is one of the things I do in service of my mission. Drop by constantine.name for my weekly email, my other podcasts, writing and more. The Movers Mindset project grew from conversations I started having as part of my personal journey rediscovering movement. The project started late in 2015, and it was initially simply a web site that shared others' writing. The project grew, and in 2017 I started the podcast. I've worked extremely hard, but none of this would have been possible without so much help from so many people. Cheers! ɕ
Why are you interested in self care and nourishing the nervous system? What is the long game? Is it just to feel good or is there a deeper reason?These are some of the questions I've been asking myself throughout my self care journey. The answer that I come up with again and again is resilience. To be more resilient in my body, mind and spirit. To be able to show up more fully for my family, community and the larger world. For me there are three major ways that I nourish my nervous system and cultivate resilience - completing stress responses, increasing neural plasticity, and managing Vata and Ojas. There are many small things I do each day to do this, but these are the roots.In this episode:What is the "window of tolerance" and why is it important to cultivating resilienceHow the window of tolerance and the zones of hyperarousal and hypoarousal correspond to the gunas of the mindWhy I think completing stress responses, increasing neural plasticity and managing Vata and Ojas are foundational to cultivating resilienceAn explanation of the pillars of a nourished nervous system, and ways to begin to integrate them into your life.The pillars are: Move Your Body, Feed Your Body, Tend Your Mind, Feed your Spirit, Tend Your Spark, Human Connection, Rest, and SleepFree Nourished for Resilience Workbook www.nourishednervoussystem.com/resilienceworkbookRelated Episodes:Episode 3 - What the Vata?!Episode 4 - Nuts and Bolts of the Stress Response Cycle and How to Complete itEpisode 11 - Why What You Think MattersEpisode 13 - Practice Being a CatEpisode 15 - Vibrancy is a Long GameEpisode 24 - Don't Normalize Sub-Quality SleepReferences:Wright, A., LMFT (n.d.).

What does it mean to be a good listener? To be present and listen without an agenda, and I believe to listen not only to the words spoken but also to body language, emotions and other subtle cues. The same is true when you listen to your body. Your body is constantly talking to you through subtle nerve impulses and sensations and feelings and emotions. Your body is speaking and your mind is interpreting what it is saying, so it is important to have a clear mind so that you don't misinterpret your body's cues.In this episode:You may have heard of interoception, but what is it?How interoception may relate to emotions and the nervous systemOther ways you can listen to your bodyThe importance of getting quiet to listen, and my personal story of my mind misinterpreting my body's cuesHow pushing through can affect your ability to listenSome simple ways to begin listeningRelated Episodes:Episode 4 : Nuts and Bolts of the Stress Response Cycle and How to Complete itEpisode 11: Why What you Think MattersEpisode 13: Practice Being a CatDeep Rest Meditation: www.nourishednervoussystem.com/deeprest References:Critchley HD, Garfinkel SN.

Disciplinary technologies, Jim is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation, University of Alberta, Canada and Director of the Canadian Athletics Coaching Centre. A sport sociologist and coach educator, his research examines coach effectiveness and the social construction and historical formation of coaches’ practices through a Foucauldian lens. What Coaches Do: Problematizing Planning and Practice “Being a coach” largely revolves around the practice of planning what athletes need to do in training to improve and develop their potential. Three components of training that coaches control, and that greatly influence athletes’ capabilities, are the training spaces used, the monitoring of time, and the organization of exercises. The consideration of these elements, and their impact on athletes’ progression and capacity for performance, derive from Michel Foucault’s analysis of technologies of discipline. In this talk I will examine Foucault’s conceptualization of discipline and it effects on athletes’ bodies, as well as how coaches can enhance their understanding of planning and athlete development by problematizing what they have their athletes do. Held, September 2011.
