    Why We Hate The Word Teacher Jun 01, 2022
    Show notes

    Send us Fan Mail

    Ok, so hate is a strong word, but in this episode we talk about the connotations the word Teacher has in our minds, why we prefer other terms and what they are.
    We talk about:

    • Our favourite mentors
    • How the term mentor is more informal and relational in nature. A mentor acts as an advisor, sharing knowledge based on their lived experience. There’s more sharing between, as mentors strive to help their mentees grow into peers.
    • How mentors learn alongside their students
    • How there is a mutual respect of each other
    • How this dynamic leads to shared responsibility and looking out for each other
    • How this dynamic is what creates the village that raises a child
    • Meeting the child where they are at

    Quotes:
    “These are the moments that shape a student. We don’t remember classrooms - we remember people and the way they made us feel. "

    "Every mentor has the ability to leave a legacy with the children in your community. Authentic connection is the key.”

    How to Talk to People Who Are Hesitant About Risky Play May 24, 2022
    Show notes

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode, we discuss how we talk to people who are hesitant of Risky Play.
    We know there are soooo many incredible benefits of Risky Play - but how do you get through to people who are skeptical, concerned or even fearful of children learning naturally in nature or through Risky Play?

    We do what the kids do when they play……. and we L.E.A.P!

    L is for LISTEN. We listen to the person’s concerns.

    E is for EXPLORE. We explore this further with some questions about, “What is it that they are particularly concerned about?”

    A is for ACKNOWLEDGE. We acknowledge the person’s concerns.

    P is for PROPOSE a way forward.
    If you’ve been listening to us for a while, you’ll know that we are all about taking the road less traveled. We believe everyone should live an extraordinary life, full of challenge, passion and purpose.

    If you’re someone who works with children, believe us when we say that starting your own Nature Play Business will lead you to some of your greatest teaching moments.

    But to get to those moments, you’ll need to do the work. And we’re here to guide you and cheer you on. Because if we can do it - so can you!

    Vicci Oliver and Nicki Farrell are adventurous nature play makers, risk-takers, children’s rights advocates and the co-founders of Wildlings Forest School. We are the hosts of the ‘Raising Wildlings’ podcast and we put the dirt back in childhood.

    During any Wildlings Forest School program, you are likely to find Wildlings up trees, sliding down mud slides, whittling with pocket knives, lighting fires and building rafts. We let kids, be kids - because children can’t learn to protect nature if they’ve never had a childhood in it.
