I head Lael Stone speak recently at an event about a school she founded, Woodline Primary, which focusses on a holistic and heart-lead approach to education. This is just one of the many ways in which Lael is changing the way we give raise and educate children from pre-natal to adolescence.  Leal created the ‘About Birth’ program  after working with thousand of parents, children, families and identifying the need for a more connected and empathetic approach to assisting mothers and babies who had experienced trauma. About Birth has become Australia’s leading online childbirth program. She’s been a Calmbirth practitioner, postnatal trauma counsellor, and Aware Parenting instructor. As her own children grew up she developed a sex education curriculum for secondary schools and has delivered a Ted Talk on How to Raise Emotionally Intelligent Children'. She’s a podcast host of the very popular and successful ‘The Aware Parenting’ podcast with co host. Marion Rose and has just written a best selling book called ‘Raising Resilient and Compassionate Children’. Oh, and as previously mentioned she’s founded a school - Woodline Primary that is revolutionising education by fostering connection and awareness through supporting and nurturing the whole child. In this episode we talk about all the above and focus on: Childhood trauma - what is it and how can we prevent it?What is 'aware parenting' and how can we do it?How to address childhood trauma as an adultHow to raise emotionally inteligent children as a parent and teacherTrauma and re-parenting ourselves as adults Lael Stone's Website The Aware Parenting podcast Raising Resilient and Compassionate Children book Woodline Primary School Subscribe to A Satisfied Mind newsletter Thanks for listening, Michael
