#864 Surf's Up & School's Out

When moving homes means changing schools again, and again... and again(!!) it can be hard for children to feel a true sense of belonging within a school community.

With this being an ongoing experience for some of the Coulson kids, a momentous decision has been made to break away from mainstream education!

And on this path to new beginnings, Justin experiences a break of a different kind - rather more painful, and nothing short of miraculous!

 

Topic's discussed in this episode:

• Australia's educational system 
• The 3 basic psychological needs of every child - what happens when these are not being met at school?
• Educational lessons learned during the Covid lockdowns
• Homeschooling 
• When children struggle with emotional regulation and attention at school
• Becoming grandparents
• Holidays, surfing, and the power of slowing down
• Challenging days and changing direction
• Moving? How to help your child settle into a new school - a Happy Families article
• School refusal - a Happy Families article
