This is so important.
Please share this with anyone who works in children’s homes, foster care, education, or anywhere around children who have been let down by adults.
Loved this convo with Jane Keenan - she has 37 years experience and this podcast is incredible for learning - because making difference in care is about is constantly learning:
How we show up better for our kids.
How we put our ego aside.
How we stop needing to be seen as the good adult and make sure we are the safe adult.
Self awareness, self care and most importantly being committed to continually learning and growing is the key to this incredibly important but often exhausting work.
Our kids need adults who can reflect, apologise, repair, and keep learning.
We also talked about the work Jane is doing around care-experienced adults - importantly her new podcast The Emerging Changemakers Podcast (release date TBC)
There are so many powerful voices in this space - people who experience care and have actual lived experiences to share - and they are helping to shape the sector.
I’ve spoken to a lot to care leavers and the same message comes through - believe in the kids, believe that they can and will, have aspirations for them.
Because if we only talk about the worst outcomes, what subliminal expectations are we putting on our children?
“We have no business capping the aspiration and opportunities for our children, simply by bringing a belief that they will never amount to anything."
CARE LEAVERS CAN AND DO.
This line should be in every home, every school, every team meeting.
