• 71: Intro to Social Thinking and Teaching Kids to Be Social Detectives

  Send us a textWelcome to the world of Social Thinking by Michelle Garcia Winner and Pamela Crooke! In this episode, I tell you about Social Thinking, and introduce you to some key terms used in Social Thinking resources, such as the book "You Are A Social Detective!" I love using this resource in collaboration with classroom teachers, but I've heard of it being used in homeschool settings, small groups, private practices, or just parents reading it to their kids at home. This episode is not sponsored - I am simply sharing a resource I find to be helpful in supporting both neurodivergent AND neurotypical kids to develop socially.To visit the Social Thinking website to learn even more , click here:  https://www.socialthinking.com/If you have any questions or topics you want me to cover, please email me at [email protected], direct message me on Instragram @SchoolPsychPodcast, or click "Send Us a Text" in this episode description.If you like the School Psych Podcast or find it helpful, please share it with a friend  or follow the podcast, so others are more likely to find it.

• 70: Identifying Ourselves on the Wheel of Privilege and Power

  Send us a textAlthough this episode would be beneficial to parents, teachers, school clinicians,  educational consultants, etc... it's really one of those topics that's relevant for anyone who is a human living on planet Earth. Our heart-work (hard work!) in better understanding how to promote equity, inclusion and anti-racism in the systems we work in is never done. In this episode I list 4 resources that are great starting points in this journey, and I dive deeper into explaining one of them (i.e., The Wheel of Privilege and Power).  This resource is an excellent way to understand intersectionality and how everyone's life experiences are going to provide differing amounts of earned and unearned power and privilege. Resources discussed in this episode:1. The book "The Skin We're In," by Desmond Cole2. The book "White Fragility," by Robin DiAngelo3. The book "Me and White Supremacy," by Laayla F. Saad 4. The Wheel of Privilege and PowerIf you have any questions or topics you want me to cover, please email me at [email protected], direct message me on Instragram @SchoolPsychPodcast, or click "Send Us a Text" in this episode description.If you like the School Psych Podcast or find it helpful, please share it with a friend  or follow the podcast, so others are more likely to find it.

• 69: How to "Be Well" - Let's Get Back to the Basics

  Send us a textIf you are a parent, teacher, educational assistant, principal, or school clinician, you need to hear this. I recorded this episode to encourage us all to reflect on which of our basic needs we have been neglecting lately. Sleep? Nutrition? Moving our body? Connection/belonging? That last one IS a basic human need - there are historical psych studies confirming this. It's time for us to return to prioritizing ourselves - we're worth it! If you have any questions or topics you want me to cover, please email me at [email protected], direct message me on Instragram @SchoolPsychPodcast, or click "Send Us a Text" in this episode description.If you like the School Psych Podcast or find it helpful, please share it with a friend (or 5!), or follow the podcast, so others are more likely to find it.
