June 24: Being A Beginner
June is OUR screen free Living for children and teens MONTH!
When teenagers have a spare hour, it's easy for them to reach for a screen.
But sometimes the most rewarding experiences begin when they step away from what they know and try something completely new.
Today's challenge is simple: start a new offline hobby.
It doesn't matter whether it's baking, drawing, football, creative writing, gardening, painting, music, running or something else they've never tried before. The goal isn't to become an expert overnight. It's to explore, experiment and discover what happens when they give their attention to something new.
For us as parents, this challenge offers a chance to encourage curiosity rather than achievement. This is an opportunity for teenagers to develop new skills, build confidence and perhaps uncover an interest they never knew they had.
Because sometimes the most loved hobbies start with a simple decision to give something a go.

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.
