Did you turn your back for a second and suddenly your baby is an adult?? Time to Abide.We have another episode of ABIDING dedicated to this time of year, when little ones are settling back into school...and not so little ones are leaving home for the first time...leaving their parents in the fabled Empty Nest. But as always help us at hand, this time we are delighted to have the CEO of MIND Mid Herts, UK, Ms Sharn Tomlinson here to share her personal and professional experience to help and support you or perhaps someone you know who may be going through this sad time. Sharn also guides us through the Five ways to wellbeing | New Economics Foundation  which is a truly amazing piece research that proved if you practice these 5 things you will maintain a healthy mind!While we are here: this little podcast network has just turned ONE YEAR OLD. As a wee birthday present can you leave a comment on whatever platform you found this episode if you have enjoyed any episode? If you want to delve a little deeper: a very interesting new health research projects of the past decade or so has looked at how exactly exercise makes us feel good. Research shows that there appears to be a clear scientific reason, that we can see at a cellular level. When muscles contract, they secrete chemicals into the bloodstream. Among these chemicals are myokines, which have been referred to as “hope molecules”. These small proteins travel to the brain, cross the blood-brain barrier, and act as an antidepressant. They do this by improving our mood, our ability to learn, our capacity for locomotor activity, and protect the brain from the negative effects of ageing. This has been referred to as “muscle-brain cross-talk” The secret to why exercise is so good for mental health? ‘Hope molecules’ | Devi Sridhar | The Guardian  Devi Sridhar is Chair of Global Public Health at the University of Edinburgh.

We are continuing with our BACK TO SCHOOL theme here at ABIDING, brought to you by the WHAT HEROES DO...PODCAST NETWORK.Last time we talked about Separation Anxiety in little ones who have issues, some which may be underlying, saying goodbye to their parents at the school gate. This time we welcome Special Educational Needs (SEN) Co-ordinator, Suzanne Swanepol to guide our listeners through the current eduactional environment and how every educator wants the very best for the children in their care. Sometimes a child will need additional support with their learning and/or behaviour...and that is fine.Suzanne will put all parents at ease and explain every child is a wonder, and that there is no shame or guilt to be had in being contacted by a school's SEN Department, who are ready to offer their professional, empathetic support, as we endeavour to take out the stigma out of SEN. Enjoy.

WHAT HEROES DO...we tackle AHSOKA at this midpoint through her maiden season! Things just got a whole lot more STAR WARS-Y!!
