Embracing the Unknown — March 25, 2020
On this episode of Eye On The Valley presented by SCVi & iLEAD Schools, Amber is out today, and Alex Urbina, Life Coach, calls in to the show to talk about how to cope with the recent challenges presented by Covid-19. Alex talks about what it means to be a Life Coach, and how impactful that practice is on people of all ages. Alex talks about how he is able to apply his coaching strategies to young people and adults alike because a lot of people stop emotionally maturing at a certain age. Alex likes to reconnect with a person no matter where they are, and tries to help them find what is getting in their way so they can continue to emotionally mature in a way that changes them for the better. Matt and Alex talk about embracing the uncertainty of the current situation, and confronting it directly with kids and children who are confused about what is going on.
Later in the show, Kristina de Bree, MA, LMFT, EMDR, calls in to talk about how to maintain a sense of normalcy during all of the changes to people’s everyday lives. Kristina and Matt talk about the various methods and practices that can be utilized to help children and teenagers remain calm. Kristina talks about performing “7-7-7 breathing,” which entails breathing in for seven seconds, holding your breath for seven seconds, and then breathing out for 7 seconds. For more tactics such as this one, listen to the full conversation in Hour 2 of the podcast.
Nancy Schier, Owner & Founder of Painted Monkeys & Company, calls in to the show as the final guest, and she talks about how her company has helped create child-friendly videos and messages that teach kids how to respond to the uncertainty created by Covid-19. From princesses to pirates, Painted Monkeys & Company brings to life the characters that our children relate to most in a changing social climate that must adhere to the latest recommendations from the CDC and LA County Officials. Visit the Painted Monkeys & Company Facebook page to see how they are helping make your kids feel more comfortable during the recent times.
Listen in as Matt Watson, Alex Urbina, Kristina de Bree, and Nancy Schier talk about the best ways for adults and children alike to embrace the unknown and persevere no matter what.
About SCVi & iLEAD Schools:
“At iLEAD we’ve built a model based on what we believe to be the best of all that is out there. We believe passionately in project-based learning not because it’s a fad but because it goes to the heart of how kids learn. We’ve incorporated technology not as a spiffy add-on but as an organic part of the learning process in the 21st century.
We value and encourage leadership not just as a part of a career track but by instilling in each learner the confidence and character that inspire others.
It’s not unusual that we want our learners to think for themselves. But to do this requires a grounding in the arts, in design and in humanities, and the need to feel at home in the world. For us, “thinking for themselves” is not just about solving problems but about an organic vision of the world they live in and one they will inherit.
Finally, we value the social and emotional development of our learners. We believe there is an implicit, as well as an explicit, curriculum to teach. Our goal is nothing short of learning, to change the world.” Read More…
