Raising Kind Minds asks: What sort of voice will your child grow up with? Because every word they say to themselves begins with what they hear from others. Hosted by Kathryn Lovewell and Liz Walker of Kind Mind Academy, this podcast helps parents, carers, and educators shape the inner voices of the next generation and strengthen their own along the way. When we nurture a child’s inner voice to be kind, we equip them with the skills to navigate and cope with friendship fires, playground dramas, teenage storms, exam pressures, social media influence, and all the challenges of modern life with confidence and calm. Each episode blends expert insights, real‑life stories, and practical mindfulness and self‑compassion tools to help adults learn and model healthy self‑talk, soothe their inner critic, and guide children to do the same. Grounded in evidence‑based methods from Mindful Self‑Compassion, positive psychology, and neuroscience, Raising Kind Minds is your invitation to think kinder, feel stronger, and raise children who are happy in their own skin. 人間関係 子育て

    #8.3 | Make Space for Wonder: A Guided Meditation with Lovely Liz
    2026/09/03
    THE MEDITATION In this meditation episode, Kathryn Lovewell introduces a restorative guided meditation led by Liz Walker, designed to complement the week's discussion with parenting expert Sue Atkins on navigating the digital world. KEY TAKEAWAYS Disconnect to Reconnect: Stepping away from devices and constant notifications creates essential mental space to listen inward and restore balance. Embrace Boredom & Imagination: Giving ourselves and our children breaks from digital stimulation allows imagination to soar and fosters creative growth. Observe Thoughts Without Judgment: Thoughts, whether light, heavy, or playful are like clouds passing through an open sky; you can simply watch them move by without holding on or chasing them away. Cultivate Daily Wonder: Taking time to notice simple moments of beauty (birdsong, sunlight, rustling leaves) anchors the mind in the present moment. Access Innate Peace: Inner quiet is not something you must construct, but a state that is already present when you slow down enough to notice it. BEST MOMENTS "Sue reminded us that we need to put down our devices, dare to let our children be bored, and to let our imaginations soar." "We spend so much of our lives connected - to screens, to messages, to scrolling, to the incessant noise of life... Today is your opportunity to put all of that down for a little while." "Imagine for a moment that your mind is like an open sky - endless, spacious, alive with movement." "You don't need to hold on to them, you don't need to chase them away. Just watching the sky of your mind with curiosity." "May I remember the peace that is already here when I slow down enough to notice it."

In this episode of Raising Kind Minds, Kathryn & Liz discuss the recent interview with parenting expert, Sue Atkins to explore what it means to be pro-tech and protect. Moving away from total bans, we discuss practical ways to build real family connections in a digital age. From creating a 'device den' and establishing a family tech contract to embracing JOMO (the joy of missing out), this episode is packed with realistic tips for busy parents. We also dive into the physiological impact of high-stimulation media like Cocomelon compared to gentler shows, offering actionable strategies to help your children regulate.

Turn Off Autoplay: Prevent accidental exposure to inappropriate content and avoid unintended extended screen sessions. Create a Device Den: Designate a central spot to park all screens during meals and bedtime to encourage face-to-face connection. Establish a Family Tech Contract: Set clear, collaborative agreements around screen boundaries so everyone understands the rules. Practice Digital Role Modelling: Narrate screen use out loud and model healthy device habits to set a positive example for children. Quotes "It was a really lovely... balance, not bans." "Our children at a very young age need the connection. They need eye contact." "Turn your phone to black and white because it's less stimulating."

    #8.1 | Sue Atkins - Navigating the Digital Jungle: Practical Screen Time Boundaries
    2026/08/30
    THE INTERVIEW Screens seem to take over family life so easily, leaving many of us wondering how to keep our children safe without constant battles over devices. In this episode, parenting expert and author Sue Atkins joins us to share warm, practical strategies for raising confident, resilient children in a tech-driven world. Rather than banning devices, Sue champions a mindful approach centered on balance, protection, and proactive boundaries. We discuss the impact of early screen access, the importance of privacy settings, and how to help children move from the fear of missing out (FOMO) to the joy of missing out (JOMO). Sue offers practical tools, like her "together at the table" initiative and the "press pause button," designed to help families stay connected, protect a child's inner voice, and build real-world self-esteem. Tune in for encouraging insights to help your family thrive both online and offline. KEY TAKEAWAYS Balance Over Banning: Technology itself isn't the enemy; the goal is using tech consciously without letting it replace human interaction, bonding, or family connection. Pro-Tech, Pro-Protect: Reframe restrictive "parental controls" as collaborative "privacy settings" to keep children safe without creating a combative dynamic. Embrace JOMO (Joy of Missing Out): Help children swap online validation for real-world activities like sports, arts, or family time to build genuine self-esteem. Delay Smartphones & Auto-Play: Turn off auto-play feature to avoid accidental over-exposure, and delay giving children internet-enabled smartphones as long as possible. Nurture the Inner Voice: Use gentle conversation starters, shared meals, and side-by-side chats to help children build critical thinking and a kind internal compass. QUOTES "How do we help our children thrive in a digital world without fear, conflict or constant battles over devices?" "I'm very pro-tech, but I'm very much pro-protect the children." "It's about understanding and using it mindfully... Use tech consciously, don't use it as an electric babysitter." "It's not about bashing each other over the head... Be your child's parent, not their friend, and put boundaries around it." "Your voice today becomes their voice tomorrow."
