The world we live in has changed so muchโฆ and with constant advances in technology, continues to change exponentially. Have you ever stopped to consider how this impacts your children or the young people around you?
We (parents and adults) simply cannot even imagine how the world appears to them and how such rapid changes and relentless influences (think social media!) impact them mentally and emotionally, so how can we help them? This is a question today's guest, Mallory Rothstein asks herself everyday.
The answer is not straightforward, indeed itโs complex and challenging, not to be solved by one thing alone, that said, she believes investment in the individual holds many of the answers. What does that mean exactly? Itโs simple really, what Mallory points to is the need to help young people understand themselves, to understand their mind and perhaps most importantly, understand that they have choices, that their experience of life is largely influenced by how they react to what it throws at themโฆ
Her goal, to help them experience, at an early age the practice of personal development, something she provides support through initiatives and collaborations with parents, children, high schools and local communities.
This podcast covers a lot of ground, including why this is so important to Mallory and what stimulated her passion for it.
Hereโs just some of what we covered:
- How watching Oprah provided an escape for one young person and influenced a movement designed to support young peopleโs personal development
- Creating safe spaces for personal discovery, transformation and growth
- What high school kids really wantโฆ in order to trust and learn from you
- Being a role model - the importance of practicing what you preach
- The importance of confidentiality and trust when working with high school students
- What students can learn from high school alumni and how schools, students and parents can benefit from alumni initiatives
- How COVID has highlighted a desire from high school students for personal development programs, support and coaching
- The challenges young people face today (that you, as a parent, simply cannot understand) and how to help them make sense of them
- Understanding social media and the impact it has on your child - and how to help them navigate itโs influences
Plus so much more.
