BONUS EP. 3: Teenagers: Keeping your farm kids safe (without wrapping them up in cotton wool).

25 Jan 2023

Description

Our teenagers might look like us, be as big as us...but cognitively, there is a difference. This can involve risk taking or it might just be a lack of complex decision making. They're also simply inexperienced. In this episode, we look at the safety risks on farm involved with our older teenagers (aged 14 and above).  This is the age where we often put more responsibility on our children on the farm, because they are more 'useful'. But they still need boundaries and advice. We also discuss mum guilt - the difficult emotion women often carry with them if something has gone terribly wrong on the farm.Grace Larsen and Sarah Duncanson, paedatric intensive care nurses, rural mums and directors of PAEDS Education guide as through how to best talk to teenagers about safety and mitigate some of the biggest risks.  And Ash Napolitano, founder of the Hunter Boyle Swim Program shares her experience of grief and building a foundation to honour her two year son, who died on farm in Shepparton in 2020.This is the third and final episode in this summer mini series about child farm safety.  This series has been produced in collaboration with PAEDS EducationIf you're interested in collaborating with us or sponsoring an episode - then send us an email: [email protected] Send us a text
