    Episode 413: You don't get to be academic and not humanitarian - the end of the Ivy League tables


    You don't get to be academic and not humanitarian - It's time for this narrative to change - the Israeli Universities need to stop sanctioning their academic staff who stand up for humanitarian rights - if they deserve to be included in international collaborations again.

    Episode 411: Changing Literacy and Numeracy Learning Challenges


    Introducing - Changing Literacy and Numeracy Learning Challenges Program 

    This course is why I have been called a wizard - and it contains magic. The very practical approach I take is designed to get even the most reluctant learner involved.

    I've developed the support my own parents couldn’t find for me. I always promised students that an hour with us was worth three in your bedroom. Now you get to recreate this for your child.

    If you are embarking on homeschooling for any age, any background any learning challenge - for a week, a month a year or life - this program is about creating holistic learning and life balance skills for life.  

    By the end of the program, you should feel as excited as me about the possibilities that homeschooling offers.    


    I read an extract of this book - not because I love it but I do agree with some statements! It's as if the author learns from mistakes we all make.

    Online Course for Trapped Teen - School Refusal - School Anxiety 

    https://dr-naoise-oreilly.thinkific.com

    The term Teen goes way beyond an age limit - these people are still dependent on us. They are the outliers of the world with much to offer us - the greatest tragedy is they have worked out the system is broken and doesn't meet modern needs for our world - we've yet to catch up! 

    This program is about fostering their talents to engage with the world again and contribute all they have to offer us.

    New Online Program to Support Families with Self-harm, Eating Disorders and Suicide Prevention 

    https://dr-naoise-oreilly.thinkific.com

    I read an extract from this book not because I wove it - but because of the place the author gets to in realising that in order to get your best results working with people - you take a part of them through you and you are changed - and in that change is healing

    Episode 407: Critical Thinking Unversity League Tables

    Critical Thinking Unversity League Tables

    All of the skill universities are meant to be teaching students on full display on their front lawns and they call in politicians and law enforcement rather than celebrating their students. 

    It might be time to use your own critical thinking to decide what league tables are really based on? Student celebration, initiative, political change and welfare are not top priorities.

    Episode 406: Kindness is not a disease

    Kindness is not a disease - you just don't expect or know how to play the games of insecure unkind people 

    This book is based on the best fictional character I've ever read to bring together my own school experiences of bullying, isolation and the depths of where this can take you too. I was lucky I had the contrast of home to not go to the depths of self-harm or suicidal thoughts.

    The most destructive habit that holds us back and that we can land ourselves in at any stage of our development.. no one is immune ... even me!

    Episode 404: How we use smartphones determines our mental well-being

    Forget blanket statements on technology being 'bad' for us ... it's how we use the tool for our well-being which determines our mental health. We can't assume that if you have a smartphone you have anxiety, depression and concentration challenges. 

    Use pick-up data, notifications settings, scheduled downtime and nighttime mode to change your habits. 

    Change your practices for good well-being, engagement and a learning tool - and then change your parents!
