TILT Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children

TPP 105: Educator Zach Morris on World-View Transformation

52 min • 24 april 2018

This is a conversation about children and flexible thinking with educator, co-founder of the Learn Inc school, and founder of Alive at Learn, Zach Morris. I had Zach on the show almost a year ago for a fascinating conversation on whole-person learning and the power of using a nonviolent communication model in schools. Today we’re going to go deep into the idea of how we as parents, caregivers, and educators can facilitate what Zach calls “world-view transformation” or flexible thinking in children. In other words, how can we help our differently wired kids change their thinking and perspective in a way that not only preserves our relationship with them, but results in the best possible outcome for our kids?

Zach is a thought-leader in education. He is committed to the cultivation of person-centered learning communities built on compassion and whole-person growth. Zach supports individuals, families, and organizations in creating supportive structures for people working to make a change in themselves and in their relationships.


 Things you’ll learn from this episode:

  • What world-view transformation is and why it’s something we’re working on facilitating with our kids, whether we realize it or not
  • What we as parents and educators are getting wrong as we work to help our kids shift their thinking
  • The importance of tapping into our child’s (and our) “window of tolerance”
  • The difference between compliance and consent when it comes to getting our kids to “buy in”
  • The role of “fixed versus growth mindset” in world view
  • Why our relationship with our child is the most important thing
  • The importance of modeling and patience, a.k.a. this is a process
  • How we can best facilitate world-view transformation through honesty and openness
