Onthis episode: Aaron is formal and calls people. Nate is cool and discusses a stuffed animal fashion show. This week, Nate and Aaron talk to Phillip Wire. Phillip is 2016 teacher of the year, in his district, and an author. He discusses some of the good, and unfortunately, the bad of how schools got “trauma informed.” Three life disruptions, including less sleep, less exercise, and less face-to-face interaction are issues facing students as well as many other people and industries. Phillip discusses the fascinating role of “environmental therapy” and how we can heal and grow outside of paying a therapist. He guides parents to have honest conversations about technology with kids and to lead by example. Phillip has many suggestions of how to “make things better,” and also reminds us to experiment because there’s not “one-size-fits-all.” All this, and more!
