June 11: Stories in the sky

June is OUR screen free Living for children and teens MONTH!

 

Today's screen-free activity is cloud watching.

Sometimes the simplest moments can be the most magical. You need a comfortable spot, a little time and a sky full of clouds waiting to spark your imagination.

As the clouds drift overhead, you can look for shapes, characters, animals or places hidden among them. One cloud might look like a dragon soaring through the sky while another becomes a sailing ship on a grand adventure. Before long, those shapes can grow into stories, conversations and shared moments of wonder.

Cloud watching encourages children (and adults) to slow down, be present and let their imaginations wander. It can inspire creativity, storytelling, observation and curiosity, all while enjoying the outdoors and spending time together.

One of the loveliest things about cloud watching is that there are no right or wrong answers. Everyone sees something different. A cloud that looks like a rabbit to you might look like a castle to your child and that's what makes it so special. Every idea, story and perspective is welcome.

Neuroinclusion for ManagERS

Right now, around 1 in 5 people in your team may be neurodivergent. That means they might process information differently, communicate differently, and experience your management style very differently from what you intend. Most managers are doing their best with almost no guidance on any of this. This session changes that.

In 45 focused minutes, you will get a clear, honest grounding in what neuroinclusive management actually looks like in practice. We will remove the deficit-framed thinking about "difficult" team members and discuss practical, human-centred approaches you can implement immediately.

This is not a session about diagnosing your team or becoming an overnight expert. It is about adjusting the conditions you create as a manager so that more of your people can do their best work, without having to constantly advocate for themselves to be heard.

A note on what this is not

This is not a session about spotting who is neurodivergent on your team. You do not need to know. Neuroinclusive management works by improving the conditions for everyone, so the people who need it most are not left having to ask.
