]]> Castaway Studios info@castawaystudios.com.au Dads In Lockdown - Paul McIntosh - using ACT psychology to negotiate with kids Derek had a great chat with Paul on his approach and techniques when dealing with his kids. Paul runs Derek through one example of how the family came to a rational agreement on the best way to handle the screen time issue using an ACT matrix. Armed with a piece of paper, a pen and some post-it notes, Paul managed to come to a calm agreement on sensible screen use. Next episode Paul will be running Derek and his 12 YO son through a similar position, but not something as serious and volatile as screen time. They will probably tackle Derek's desire to teach Tom the skills of his trade and use resources at hand to give him a great head start in the modern world of streaming and content creation.

Mark made 17 adventure documentaries with the legendary Malcolm Douglas and subsequently managed his crocodile park. He is a historian, storyteller and an adventurer with a deep fascination and appreciation for Rock art and Aboriginal culture. This is a conversation of epic scope. Topics discussed. Crabbing in the Mangroves and discussing the epic of Gilgamesh. Straight into everything- storytelling and history. Linguistics, Aboriginal story tradition, the Kimberley. Malcom Douglas documentary making. Managing the crocodile park. Falling in love with the camera, the Kimberley and rock art. Fear of the future now that I have children- everything that humans create eventually collapses. More Gilgamesh- the end of human immortality. Mark's fatherhood journey told.

Meaning and connection in order to parent well. "What's it all about?"- A billionaire asks an Aboriginal man sitting on a mat. We are living in an unsatisfying story. Spend time with the dying.
