TPP 105a: Educator Zach Morris on World-View Transformation

Published: Oct. 8, 2021, noon

b'This is a conversation about children and flexible thinking with educator, co-founder of the Learn Inc school, and founder of Alive at Learn, Zach Morris. I had Zach on the show almost a year ago for a fascinating conversation on whole-person learning and the power of using a nonviolent communication model in schools. Today we\\u2019re going to go deep into the idea of how we as parents, caregivers, and educators can facilitate what Zach calls \\u201cworld-view transformation\\u201d or flexible thinking in children. In other words, how can we help our differently wired kids change their thinking and perspective in a way that not only preserves our relationship with them, but results in the best possible outcome for our kids?\\nZach is a thought-leader in education. He is committed to the cultivation of person-centered learning communities built on compassion and whole-person growth. Zach supports individuals, families, and organizations in creating supportive structures for people working to make a change in themselves and in their relationships.\\n\\n\\xa0Things you\\u2019ll learn from this episode:\\n\\nWhat world-view transformation is and why it\\u2019s something we\\u2019re working on facilitating with our kids, whether we realize it or not\\n\\nWhat we as parents and educators are getting wrong as we work to help our kids shift their thinking\\n\\nThe importance of tapping into our child\\u2019s (and our) \\u201cwindow of tolerance\\u201d\\n\\nThe difference between compliance and consent when it comes to getting our kids to \\u201cbuy in\\u201d\\n\\nThe role of \\u201cfixed versus growth mindset\\u201d in world view\\n\\nWhy our relationship with our child is the most important thing\\n\\n\\nThe importance of modeling and patience, a.k.a. this is a process\\n\\n\\nHow we can best facilitate world-view transformation through honesty and openness\\n\\n\\xa0\\nResources mentioned for supporting children in flexible thinking:\\n\\n\\nAlive at Learn (Zach\\u2019s website)\\n\\n\\nThe Center for Nonviolent Communication (Marshall Rosenberg\\u2019s Global Organization)\\n\\nInstitute of Noetic Sciences\\n\\n\\nCarl Rogers (on Positive Psychology Program)\\n\\n\\nZach Morris on Emotionally Support Children Through Difficult Periods (podcast episode)\\n\\n\\nNon-Violent Communication, Whole-Person Learning, and Neurodiverse Students (podcast episode)\\n\\nSupport the show\\nConnect with Tilt Parenting\\n\\n\\nVisit Tilt Parenting\\n\\nTake the free 7-Day Challenge\\n\\n\\n\\nRead a chapter of Differently Wired\\n\\n\\nFollow Tilt on Twitter & Instagram\\n\\n\\n\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
