Explore the captivating Third Man experiences from individuals who have encountered a mysterious presence during moments of extreme stress and isolation. From historic expeditions to modern-day accounts, we uncover the compelling stories that reveal the human capacity for resilience and companionship in the face of adversity.

In this episode, we investigate the human psyche to unravel the phenomenon known as 'Third Man Syndrome.' Through a blend of storytelling, analysis, and personal reflection, we examine the psychological and emotional dimensions of these encounters, offering insights into the intricate relationship between perception, cognition, and resilience.

Drawing on our background as mental health professionals, we provide a unique perspective on the significance of these experiences, exploring their therapeutic implications and their relevance to our understanding of human connection and resilience.

Join us as we navigate through the mysteries of the 'Third Man' and embark on a journey of discovery, introspection, and connection.

Listeners will hear how she and her team have implemented necessary supports for students experiencing a lack of personal connections while they are learning in isolation from home.

Today we talk about an exercise that helps us with letting go of things we cannot control.
Activity:

• Trace your hand on a piece of paper
• Write inside the palm of your hand the things that you CAN control- your feelings, your thoughts, your words, your actions
• Everything else gets written outside your hand... these are the things you cannot control- your car breaking down, the weather, your child getting sick, your x-partner
• Because you cannot close your hand on these things outside your hand- you must let go of them. You cannot control them.
• Close your hand around those things you CAN control. Focus on them. Let go of everything else.

Does this activity help you during this holiday season?
Let me know- I love hearing from you!

In this episode of IB Matters we talk to Sonia Singh, a PYP Coordinator at Prometheus School in Dehli India. After talking a bit about her upcoming virtual authorization, we hear from Sonia about some truly innovative and effective ways they build students' socio emotional connections. 

I was truly impressed with all the ways they are helping students connect with each other and with their teachers while learning remotely.

Some of the strategies we spoke about in the podcast -
Processes introduced to ensure students interacted socially with  their peers and teachers for closer bonding: 
    a. Zoom breakfast 
    b. One on one student connect time 
    c. Morning connect with students everyday 
    d. Talent show days 

Some processes for emotional well being:
    a. Mindfulness assemblies done by Ms. Amber of Dinocrew
    b. Regular in class mindfulness lessons
    c. Silent work time with background music
    d. Choice activities for students
    e. Stretching exercises for 5 mins before the onset of every lesson to avoid  zoom fatigue
    f. Quality circle time with students to address individual issues

The 3rd  installment of Interviews with Working Moms discussing; Remote Learning, Working mom tips and of course Mom meltdowns.  

Today I’m doing an interview with a fellow working mom and friend Dr. Kortney Peagram who is a Professor at the Chicago School of Profession Psychology and the owner of Peagram Consulting.  She has a lot of experience with the social and emotional needs of kids with cyberbullying and social media to learning to finding your passion and building your dream business. She even has Personal coaching to help build a better relationships with your teens. 

I knew she was one of my people the minute I met her and found out that her mission through life is to to eradicate bullying through kindness, connection, and social boldness.

I’m super excited to sit down with her today and discuss remote learning and other fun topics. 

Grab a a glass of wine or a cup of coffee/tea and join us as we discuss remote learning and other Working mom topics. 

Social-emotional learning, mindfulness, soft skills, emotional intelligence— call it what you want. Learning how to understand and deal with emotions plays a significant role in our ability to handle all varieties of problems we face throughout our lives. In this episode, we get into the nitty-gritty with Scotty Iseri, father of a 7-year-old son and fellow podcaster, on the true value of social-emotional learning (SEL) in school and at home. Also, we test out a new drinking game and encounter a commode-themed mystery in the Flaherty household.
 

Episode 26 of Modern Dadhood opens with a conversation about the emotional effects of quarantine on our kids. Adam shares about his daughters spent their Summer, and how their experience likely differs from that of an only child. Despite kids, generally speaking, being resilient little beings, the current state of the world is different than anything they (or we) have ever experienced, so it shouldn't be a surprise that there could be some behavioral side effects.

The guys welcome to the conversation Scotty Iseri, a father of one 7-year-old son. Scotty works at Committee for Children, and hosts a podcast called The Imagine Neighborhood, among many other unique talents and experiences. And he also deeply understands the importance of social-emotional learning. Scotty teaches us that the social-emotional conversation impacts everyone regardless of age, sex, or whether they're a child or parent. Topics of conversation include:

•  It's just as important for us as fathers as it is for our kids, to understand and manage our emotions
•  Learning how to redirect our energy
• Teaching ourselves to be okay with big emotions
•  Social-emotional growth and strengthening isn't inherent - it takes work
•  How schools are starting to place importance on these skills
•  Tips for dads when these conversations don't come naturally
•  The rise of kindness and empathy
 

Adam shares a So That's a Thing Now concerning his daughters' deuces before the episode comes to close.

Is Your Childcare Center Impacted by COVID-19? 

In this episode, Jay Whitney of Childcare Brokers answers the questions we have all been asking about the Paycheck Protection Program. Please be sure to join our Facebook community for more useful tools, like videos, pdf files and free trainings to help you get through this crisis: https://www.facebook.com/groups/childcarebusinesscoach/

The SBA Coronavirus Relief Loan – Paycheck Protection Program

• Do your childcare center qualify? & What’s needed to determine eligibility?
• How do I calculate the total loan amount my childcare center can get?
• What counts as “payroll costs? What does not count as Payroll costs? Does the PPP cover paid sick leave?
• What expenses will this loan help pay? 
• Will I have to pay back my loan? – What is forgiven?
• Will I owe money if I do not maintain my staff and payroll.
• Are there any fees?
• Is collateral or a personal guarantee required?
• What is the interest rate? Over what period will it be paid back?
• What documents will I need to complete my application?
• Can I take out a PPP loan and a SBA Disaster Relief Loan (EIDL)?
• Why some lenders are not interested in the program? (The bank’s interest rate is only 1%!) Since the program is a “first come, first serviced” program, why a center owner should go with lenders who move fast?
