Ep. 80 - Empowering Children to Navigate Climate Anxiety with Roman from FoxTwinHollow
Roman from FoxTwinHollow.com and @FoxTwinHollow on Twitter joins Thriving the Future to discuss empowering youth with the survival skills needed to navigate our world.We jumped off of the engagement and conversation on this FoxTwinHollow tweet:"I am planning my upcoming class on how to help children navigate 'climate anxiety' - a trend that is skyrocketing among youth. What term do you feel best summarizes the OPPOSITE feeling of despair, pessimism, dread, & helplessness?"
- The Forest School approach to connecting kids back to Nature and essential skills. This is especially impactful for "dysregulated" kids, who are distracted in school.
- We focus on the solutions rather than the despair. Empowering rather than just protest. Roman took his class to the forest to clear invasive species, plant native trees, and they made baskets from cleared English Ivy.
- Looking at things in the scope of "Deep Time", to gain perspective.
