    PHQP_0018 More Hazard Mitigation
    2025/05/05
    In PHQP_0018 More Hazard Mitigation, Jeff draws on his recent 50-mile walk to explore hazard mitigation, sharing practical strategies for reducing unseen dangers to make risky activities safer for children and educators. Episode Video Watch Now: PHQP_0018 More Hazard Mitigation Episode Notes PHQP_0015 Hazard Mitigation PHQP_0004 Learning Is Risky 5 Hazard Mitigation Strategies Understanding Danger, Hazard, And Risk Hazard The More Hazard Mitigation Transcript Welcome to the Playvolution HQ podcast. I'm Jeff Johnson. Thanks for pushing Play on with the show. So I'm just back from another road trip out there doing live in-person early learning professional development training. Was up in Minnesota, Rochester, Minnesota, talking to family child care providers. Great group. I've been with them before. And Minnesota, back in the days when I was just getting started as a trainer, was really supportive of that. And so I saw some faces that I've known for a long time and some wonderful, wonderful early learning professionals, which was great. I love doing stuff online, but getting out there and seeing people in person, especially from the olden days, was good. So on to this episode, we're talking about hazard mitigation some more. Now, we've talked about it in the past. I wanted to spend this episode going over specifically hazard mitigation in relation to the 50 mile walk I did a few weeks back. Because I think it's an example of the kind of the thought process that we can use when we mitigate hazards. When we're considering doing scary things, like I talked about last episode, in our own lives or in supporting children and doing their scary thing and taking risks. And so to recap a little bit, a danger is anything that could cause harm. Lots of dangers out there. A hazard is a danger that is not readily seen or predicted. And so in early learning settings, one of our primary jobs is hazard mitigation. We're trying to see the things that could cause harm to children that they're not going to anticipate or predict readily. And then a risk is a choice. It's a choice to do a thing or not to do it based on your experience, based on your knowledge. And it's something that could or that may or may not cause harm. So risks are choices. And we don't need to worry about risks in our early learning settings as much as we need to worry or think about hazard mitigation. And so you can think of hazard mitigation as making the scary things less scary. So again, it comes up for playgrounds, for example. Good hazard mitigation means that before kids head out to the outdoor play space, that somebody does a playground check. They make sure that there's not cat poop in the sandbox and there's not broken glass in the resilient surfacing under the slide. And that the fence is secure so that there's a gate open so the two-year-olds don't wander off. And those kind of things, you know, making sure the swing chains are bolted tight and that the slide isn't too wobbly. All of those kind of things are making the playground less dangerous for the little kids that are going to be out there playing and exploring. So hazard mitigation, making scary things less scary. Now, with my walk, one of the first things I had to consider was the when, the timing of it. I couldn't do it, I lived down on the Gulf Coast. I couldn't do it in July or August because the heat and humidity would kill me, even in the evenings. There's a lot of evenings, nights in the summer when it only gets down in the 80s and it's like 90% humidity. So I needed to do it, if I was going to do it, I needed to do it before the beginning of May, middle of May. And otherwise it was going to have to get put off until October, September, October, November. And so the scheduling was important, but also when in the day I did it. Because the sun can kick your butt down here. And so my plan to mitigate hazards that were kind of...

    PHQP_0017 Do The Scary Thing
    2025/04/28
    In PHQP 0017 Do The Scary Thing, Jeff explores the value of embracing fear to foster growth, sharing his experience of aiding a stranded dolphin and completing a grueling 50-mile walk. He discusses how doing the scary thing—whether big or small—sparks joy, builds resilience, and prevents stagnation, encouraging listeners to face their fears with intention and preparation.

I'm Jeff Johnson. Thanks for pushing play on with the show. So I'm basically a marine biologist now. This episode we're gonna get into talking about doing the scary thing and why that's important. And I had a chance to do a mildly scary thing yesterday, meaning new to me. I'd never done it before. And I think first time things kind of always fall under the scary thing category for us. And so I'm walking on the beach. It's just before sun up. And I see up ahead of me something along the shore, just kind of right there at the water's edge. And get a little bit closer and I realize it is a dolphin. And I think, okay, dead dolphin on the beach. I gotta call the turtle dolphin hotline and report it. And reach for my phone to start to do that. And then the dead dolphin splishes and splashes a little bit. And I thought, oh shit, this is not a dead dolphin. This is a live dolphin. See that marine biologist part. See, I can tell the difference between alive and dead. And this is kind of a bigger thing. And so I get the hotline person. I've got a call person that answers in off hours. And she says, oh wow, well let me get a hold of my direct supervisor and can you stay there for a while and help sort this out? I'm like, yeah, sure, I've got no place else to be. And so she messaged with her boss. She wants me to send her pictures and videos. And this dolphin, every minute or so, it's thrashing a little bit. And then she's like, okay, my boss is on the way. She's about 20 minutes away. And the rest of the team is gonna be there. Can you wade into the water and try to flip the dolphin upright, so it's kind of on its side, flip it upright so this blowhole is out of the water so that it can breathe. So this blowhole's out of the sand. I'm like, yeah, I can do that. She's like, be careful, it might thrash around and they've got very strong tails. I'm like, okay. And so I flip my shoes off and I wade out into the water and I get the thing flipped up on its side and I gotta hold it there with my leg to keep it from tipping back over again. So I'm holding it there and splashing water on it and saying, there, there, it'll be okay. Because I didn't know what else to say to the dolphin. And then the phone girl, she texts me back. She says, can you keep track of its breaths? And so I'm holding the dolphin up and keeping track of how many times it's breathing in a minute. And this goes on for about 30 minutes. And then the first response person shows up and she takes over. Look, dolphin probably died. I haven't heard back from them yet. They have very, very low survival rates when something like this happens. But it was a thing, a chance to do a little bit of scary thing because I'd never held a dolphin upright and counted its breaths before. So there's that. Early learning guy and marine biologist. It's a cute little blowhole. I'd be really happy if a little dolphin lived. Anyway, on with our one and only topic for this episode, doing the scary thing. Last episode, I mentioned that I was heading off on my 50 mile walk and I did that. I left about 4 p.m. in the afternoon and walked 25 miles in one direction basically and turned arou...

    OOL_0083 Reflections From A Current Unschooler
    2025/04/22
    Annie Friday talks this week with Sequoia a young person who is nearing the end of her homeschooling and unschooling journey and transitioning into "adult" life. Annie first met Sequoia as a young person in a forest school program then later in the Flying Squad program designed to get young people out and about in their community. Sequoia and the whole squad of flyers were integral in speeding up Annie's own deschooling experience. Deschooling is the process of shedding the programming that comes through life in a schooled society. Sequoia shares her ups and downs and general reflections on her own journey through her school years of life. Thanks for listening!
