In this episode, we explore the basics of the nervous system, how it influences the way we think, feel and behave, and why understanding it is so important for our wellbeing.

We look at what happens in the body when we experience stress, the difference between fight or flight and rest and digest, and how we can begin to recognise and regulate our own nervous system responses.

I also explore why I believe nervous system education should be a fundamental part of how we raise and educate our children. What if, alongside reading, writing and maths, we taught children how to understand their emotions, recognise what their bodies are telling them and develop the tools to navigate life's challenges?

And why isn't Physical Education actually about educating children about their physical bodies? About connecting to sensation, developing body awareness and learning how to self-regulate, rather than simply learning how to kick a ball into a net, compete or win?

What if PE was less about performance and competition, and more about helping children understand, connect with and feel safe in their own bodies?

A conversation about nervous system regulation, childhood development, education and why teaching our children how to connect with themselves might be one of the most important lessons we can offer them.
