In this bonus episode, Adina chats with Dr. Amanda DeSua about how school impacts identity and worldview. Amanda is a School Counselor, a Counselor Educator and the Author of two children's books, which you can find here, as well as on Amazon.
Amanda identified seven factors that significantly affect kids at school:
1. Social Interaction
2. Curriculum and Values
3. Extracurricular Activities
4. Expectations and Stereotypes
5. Educational Achievement
6. Cultural and Peer Pressure
7. Role Models and Teachers
The conversation touched on these and meandered into other areas as well. It's a long but interesting conversation that will hopefully get you thinking about how your school experience affected you and how you can heal residual wounds--it's not too late!
