WARNING: This session talks about sex, pornography and a few other topics that might be hard to listen to for some people. However, we feel it is really important to talk about, as it is something that our young people can access, freely. This means as adults, we have to understand the potential impact it can have, so we can support more appropriate learning. Listen with caution, and with an open mind.

We want to talk about what happens when the brain doesn't get the inputs that it needs, this is what 'neglect' means. This is a discussion around the impact neglect can have on the brain, and on how we grow, behave and think.

Should we keep the score? Is it okay to tell our tamariki if they have won or lost? It isn't as simple as 'yes' or 'no', so Pio and Kathryn discuss this, (and maybe go off topic a few times as usual)....

In our typically random way, Pio and Kathryn discuss why so many of our rangatahi are involving themselves in violent, disobedient behaviour. What can we do as a community to help stem the trend?

What is going on when we sit an exam? What impact does it have on the brain and what are we actually testing? We also discuss discussions... How important it is to challenge the topic, not the person.

A big subject, and an incredibly important one. We do our best to work through some of the neuroscience, because through understanding we can move forward.
