Why Connection Matters So Much! With Mandy Herold

Future Smart Parent

Episode Summary:
Mandy is passionate about supporting parents, teachers and schools on their journey to develop safe, connected and problem solving environments for children to thrive.
Academics aren’t enough! We need to equip ourselves with tools to teach children missing skills through Social Emotional Learning.
In this episode, Mandy and Jude discuss what social emotional learning actually means, and how we need to shift our mentality, as parents and teachers, to connection over correction. Jude shares a real-life example and asks Mandy for her insights on how to prioritise connecting with a child, especially when there’s been a problem or incident where we might be inclined to punish, rather than connect. That’s not to say consequences don’t exist, but Mandy explains how connection and developing certain social emotional skills can really equip our kids and often the natural consequences teach them the lessons in any case.
A very interesting discussion - we’d love to hear your feedback and what you think about Social Emotional Learning.
