Welcome to the episode
Join me as I chat with Eric Stenlake, an educator and teen family coach. Eric shares his insights on working with families, the evolving landscape of education, and helping teens navigate life transitions. The key themes we covered include the shift from traditional academic paths to more flexible, exploratory learning, and the increasing importance of skills like curiosity and adaptability. Eric also emphasises the importance of parents connecting with their children, guiding them through their educational and life choices without dictating their future.
The conversation explores challenges such as the decline of trade and technical education, the impact of social media, and how to guide children in creating a positive online presence. Eric encourages parents to walk alongside their children, fostering open communication, and preparing them for a future where many jobs are yet to be created.
The ONE Thing:
One of the most important insights from this episode is the idea of parents "linking arms" with their children—walking with them through their journey, rather than leading from the front or dictating their path.
