In this episode we speak with Dr Tom Clements, an Educational Psychologist, about the problems with withdrawing playtime from children and young people.
We discuss why teachers may resort to removing playtime and how they view this approach touching on a realisation that this can often be making the problem worst. We discuss alternatives to the removal of punishment that teachers themselves came to in the course of the project and think about why it is important that teachers reflect on this as a tool they use in the classroom.

In the episode we speak to Dr Duncan Gillard, an Educational Psychologist who is using evidence informed approaches to promote the well-being of children and young people in his work.
We discussed DNA-V (the Acceptance and Commitment model for youth) and how this has been adapted to universal, targeted and more specialist levels for use in schools. We discuss how important it is for interventions in school to be evidence based and evidence informed and how this has been proven for the Connect Curriculum and other DNA-V based projects.

In this episode we speak with Dr Clio Berry about her research which has explored hope in young people.
We explore a new model of hope and how we could apply this to help build hope in young people. We discuss the malleability of hope and what can be done to try and increase hope for those that are struggling with low hope, alongside considering why hope is such an important area to consider in students.
