Beyond The Mask NEW EPISODE of @allthingsteenpodcast available on all streaming platforms!! (EP. 39) Beyond The Mask What's up, family! Today, we are discussing the concept of going beyond the mask. A mask is defined as a covering for all or part of the face, worn as a disguise, or to amuse or frighten others. We all wear them, don't we? Behind every mask lies a lot of stories - tales of pain, struggles, failures and triumphs. Sometimes, we were this mask intentionally, and other times, innocently. Yet, somehow we all don masks to conceal our true selves from the world. But what lies beneath? What secrets do we keep hidden, even from ourselves? What is behind our masks? What truths do you conceal, and what lies are waiting to be revealed? It's quite the challenge because sometimes we try to label who we are. And the most terrifying part is that society often celebrates mask wearers and not the vulnerable. Akintunde and Ade lead us through several conversations exploring the beauty in unveiling our masks and celebrating our vulnerability.

As part of the Dyslexia Awareness Month in October, we have created a podcast that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about Dyslexia. Dyslexia is explained as a learning difficulty that affects the ability to read or spell clearly.    This episode aims to change how dyslexics are viewed and supported internationally by the global community by helping us to understand, value, and celebrate their talents. Additionally, we encourage more inclusive and equitable cultures that celebrate differences and empower every individual.   Our Guest is Mr. Stephen Emmanuel, a trained educator and member of the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators (AOGPE). As an experienced researcher, he has had articles published in reputable local and international academic journals. He is currently the Organizing Secretary of the Association of Nigeria Educational Psychologists (ANEP) and he is a member of the International Association of Special Educators (IASE), which includes the International Dyslexia Association (IDA). Stephen is the founder of Inclusive Classroom Nigeria where he leads a team of volunteers who provide early and crisis intervention to learners with learning difficulties in underserved communities in Nigeria. Stephen is very passionate about training pre-service and in-service teachers on strategies for making the classroom inclusive of neurodiverse learners.

All failures in life can be traced back to dishonour; dishonour to God, men, or principles. Honour is the discerning, celebrating, and rewarding of uniqueness, usefulness, and excellence. Dishonour is the trivialization of value and relevance. To take for granted is to regard lightly. A question is a seed for an answer. The seed of honour is the seed of access. Dishonour sows the seed of closed doors. Honour is also the willingness to place value. Honour is a choice, not a gift. Come with us to learn the principles of honour.

Being kind to yourself and others is the best gift you can give yourself during this season. Be compassionate, because everyone you encounter is fighting a struggle you don't understand. Whether you are moving on with concentrated purpose, feeling overwhelmed with so much of the unknown, resting soundly in your trust, dealing with anxiety, or all of the above, I have an encouraging word for you today that will elevate your heart.

This is a continuation of why and how of the mentorship part 1. Have fun listening ☺️

Mentoring is a step-ladder that helps you get to the top faster. All of the most powerful people in the world have mentors. Mentoring is good for both the mentee and the mentor. If a teen has a mentor, they are more likely to grow up to be happy, safe, well-adjusted adults who contribute to society. Come with us to learn why you need mentors and how to find good ones.

What do we do when God says something that goes against a deeply held cultural value? Teenagers have always had to think about this question, and it is still a hard one for them today. For example, what do we do when the God says it's wrong to have sexual relations outside of marriage, but our culture values sexual freedom and casual sex?Find out by listening to the podcast for today.

Do you struggle with pride? Have you succumbed to the "it's all about me" mentality that pervades today's culture? Do you behave in this way on occasion, even if unconsciously? Do you prefer to be the first in line? Are you impolite when you have the opportunity to assist others, preferring to outrun everyone else? Do you want a nicer house, car, or other belongings than your neighbours? Pride can manifest itself in a variety of unpleasant ways, including conceit, self-righteousness, boasting, selfish ambition, showing off, vanity, and impatience. These can be replaced with humility. Learn how to overcome pride in all of its forms using time-tested insights!

Earth Day is an excellent opportunity to inspire teens to make a positive difference for our planet. We're told to use reusable water bottles instead of single-use plastic bottles, to participate in community beach clean-ups, to buy green and sustainable household goods, and to use reusable bags. But what if, as a teenager, you have no control over any of this? Worse, if you still live at home, your parents may not share your enthusiasm for green living. Fortunately, you still have options for convincing them to change their ways. You might think that as a teen, you can't help much, but you'd be wrong.

Most adults struggle with effective time management. Teenagers are no exception. Many demands splinter their time—academic, social, sports, volunteer hours, and family responsibilities. So, how do we teach teens to set priorities and manage their time effectively when it comes to time management? In this podcast, we'll talk about time management and practical time management techniques that teens can use to succeed in our fast-paced, technology-driven society.

Accept it. You are aware that you have greater potential. A special gift that distinguishes you from others, something that allows you to have a unique impact on the world and make it a better place. Many people have lost their sense of certainty and find it difficult to achieve their dreams. That's about to change; by the end of this podcast, you'll have gained more clarity about your goals, begun to manifest them, and won in life. Join us as we uncover the last secrets to discovering your unique self.

Each of us is born with extraordinary, one-of-a-kind abilities. We cannot afford to allow external influences to dominate us to the point where they begin to diminish the qualities or gifts we were born with; instead, we should try to figure out how external influences can help us explore our potential. When we start to believe in our inherent abilities, we concentrate on bringing them to the forefront rather than worrying about qualities we lack. Join us as we continue to learn the secrets to discovering your distinct self.

All humans are gifted, but many do not recognise their abilities. When we don't know what our potentials are, it's difficult to realise them. The good news is that we can discover our untapped potential. You'll be better equipped to find work that suits you if you can identify and understand your strengths. Learn the keys to discovering your unique self.

Digital media has quickly changed the way parents and children communicate, have fun, learn, and solve problems on a daily basis. Because very young children use smartphones and tablets on a regular basis, their early digital engagement poses new challenges to parent-child relationships and the parental role. Join us as we talk about the transition from traditional to digital parenting, digital/media competencies for parents, digital education for parents, and digital tools for monitoring children's digital activities.
