Solidarity Hour - The Last One... With Elaine Taylor-Klaus

This was our last Solidarity Hour, before we transition to a podcast format, and it sure did end on a high note! We learn so much from Elaine Taylor-Klaus, parent, educator, certified coach, author, co-founder of Impact ADHD and co-creator of Sanity School.

Although Elaine’s specialty has been raising her three complex kids, and coaching both complex parents as well as parents of complex kids, she shares her wisdom and knowledge of parenting principles through a coaching approach that applies to all parents of any type of child.

We learn from Elaine that it starts with changing how we see ourselves and how we see our kids. And in this pandemic, Elaine puts it perfectly: "Right now, we are all parenting kids in complex times, and all of us have different ways in which we struggle as parents, or even sometimes as children with our own parents, with different complexities that life brings us." Hear more in the recording about how in these times, the focus should be on learning, not worrying so much about schooling.

In general, we focus so much on outcomes, instead of the process of getting to those outcomes. We also discuss with Elaine how many of these concepts and models translate to the working world, and the importance of understanding how to negotiate and advocate for ourselves for what we need, not only as adults but starting at a young age.

If you are a parent, educator, want to be a parent in the future, or have a desire for helping kids or other people learn and grow, get ready to do a lot of note-taking for this hour of really practical examples and steps to the parenting and coaching relationship that makes so much sense when Elaine explains it!

The ThinqShift Solidarity Hour is moving from a Google Meet call three times per week, to a podcast once per week. To all of you that have been a part of our Solidarity Hour since day one, thank you for your involvement and support - we loved the experience and hearing from all of you, which has ultimately led us to transition into the podcast format.

We will be recording our podcasts live on Wednesdays at 1pm PST / 4pm EST / 9pm GMT. If you can’t tune in on Wednesdays, check back to our Fabulously blog on Fridays for each week’s podcast.

Vips and Vicki will be our host each week, with an occasional guest joining the podcast.
