I always view it as like: can I teach you how to learn? And it's hard to do that as a parent, because I feel like a lot of kids think you're kind of hokey and weird if you know mom's sitting and meditating again, or, but they're like real good skills.
What if kids could learn to express themselves more freely and creatively? Amanda Cottrell, the dynamic force behind Art, Mindfulness, and Creativity, saw gaps in traditional education and decided to fill them herself. In this episode of 'Tribe of Unicorns', host Kendra Beavis chats with Amanda about her mission to revolutionize how children learn and express themselves.
Amanda's series of children's books are designed to help kids think differently about what they learn in school and how they use that information. Imagine a classroom where kids are asked, 'What will you remember in 20 years?' Amanda believes in teaching children not just facts, but how to strive and feel empowered in their learning journey. She also shares fascinating insights into how body language can impact our lives—did you know it could be that powerful?
Amanda's approach isn't just about creativity; it's about empathy and compassion too. She emphasizes the importance of these qualities in education and beyond. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in nurturing creativity, whether in children or themselves. So grab your headphones and get ready to be inspired by Amanda's innovative ideas and passion for changing the educational landscape.
