Episode TPP 247a: Dr. Jody Carrington on Lifting Up Educators, Parents, Caregivers, and Anyone Else Who Supports Children
My guest for this episode, Dr Jody Carrington, a clinical psychologist, speaker, and author based in Alberta, Canada, has spent most of her career working with children and families who have experienced trauma, and has learned that kids can only be as okay as the adults in their lives are okay. The result of her insights is the wonderful book Kids These Days: A Game Plan for (Re)Connecting With Those We Teach, Lead & Love.
Jody offers powerfully grounded insights and strategies for parents, caregivers, and teachers to connect with and show up for our kids and each other.
Things You'll Learn from This Episode:
• Why it’s so important that kids have meaningful connections with adults in their lives, including (and perhaps especially) teachers
• The importance of showing emotional regulation to kids (and why emotional regulation can’t be learned without dysregulation)
• What is a “light up moment”
• How labels are often relied upon in schools to provide context but miss the actual story
• Jody’s answer to the question: “Is it ever too late” with older kids who may have experienced trauma or have really tricky conduct
• Why and how our real power comes from connecting and supporting each other
