Teachers In Disguise (What is Now? Podcast)

How do you deal with unexpected disruptions? Saqib & Charles experience an interruption and utilize it as a teacher at the moment. Each session begins with a minute of silence followed by an unplanned interpersonal exploration of the present moment and then ends with a short guided practice based on the themes that arise in the session. We hope you enjoy the experience!

Thank you. I put this track in my playlist For Teachers since distraction must become a part of the dance of the lesson in order to successfully teach, especially with children . However, during your chat, I was reminded of a moment at 23 years old that changed my perspective completely: I was a mother of two little kids and we were heading out to a weekly activity. Both kids suddenly had meltdowns. My first thought was “I don’t have time for this! I had a plan! It’s important to me!” But then I let go of the plan because there was nothing else to do but sit on the floor and open my arms to two suffering little souls. I did nothing to speed their process along, we just sat together until they were calm enough to communicate. Eventually we made our way to our activity but with peace and acceptance of both distraction as teacher to me on how to be a good mom, and to the kids that suffering needs time to sit with and deserves compassion, talk about it, then let it go and move on to the next thing in life.
