The answer to the title is a BIG. FAT. NO! Ha! Today I speak with the beautiful Lael Stone. I had to get her back again! She's an author of a new, wonderful book called Raising Resilient and Compassionate Children. She's the creator and director of a school, Woodline Primary. Lael works with the Resilience Project and she is the creator and co-host of the Aware Parenting Podcast. But wait, there's more....she's worked with teenagers teaching sex ed, and she was also a doula for many years. Oh my gosh, is there anything that she hasn't done? So, if we know the Behaviourist Approach is no longer working for us and we know the impact it has on children, what do we do instead? Have a listen to find out! Em and Lael discuss: - What is Behaviourism and why are schools still relying on it? - The good girl/good boy paradigm - The negative affects of Behaviourism  - Do you look at children through the lens of good and bad? - How do we start making the shift? - How do we manage children's big feelings? - Why self-compassion is an essential ingredient - Children and unmet needs - Looking behind the behaviour- What does that mean? - Why harsher consequences are not the answer and neither are rewards - Supporting students to help them recognise what they need - The smallest piece of connection matters - Why it's hard going against the grain   You can find Lael at @laelstone on Instagram or head to her website https://laelstone.com.au/ Find Em @thegradguide_ on Instagram or on Facebook at The Grad Guide Click the link below to join TGG Mentorship- Doors CLOSE Monday 30th Jan 7pm https://www.thegradguide.com.au/mentorship
