In Episode 11 of Play it Forward, Sandi Phoenix joins Lukas in a discussion about behaviour. Sandi’s originality and passion for the ground-breaking work she does in the early education sector has revolutionised how educators work with children and each other. Sandi is a behavioural specialist and the founding company Director at Phoenix Support. Her framework, The Phoenix Cups, explores how to understand and respond positively to differences and conflict, which ultimately leads to finding harmony in the workplace.

Lukas and Sandi have shared the stage many times over the years at various early childhood conferences. In this podcast episode, they discuss children’s rights to freedom and play, behaviour managing, unmet needs and connection seeking. Sandi also delves into Choice Theory and filling cups to meet children’s needs of connection, belonging, love and acceptance. They also chat about the responsibility of children’s needs and rights in an early childcare setting and the importance of well-being and fulfilment for educators.
