9/6/21 Social Justice Parenting

Throughout the past two challenging and painful years, our children have been watching. As the world has faced a deadly pandemic, widespread incidents of racist violence that have once again highlighted the ongoing reality of racism in this country, and wildfires and storms that have destroyed life and property, children have been watching how the adults in their lives—and particularly their parents—respond. Do we try to ignore these problems? Or do we reach out to others and take action to try to make the world a better place? How can we raise anti-racist and socially engaged children? What’s the right age to start? And where do we start? Host David B. Feldman interviews Dr. Traci Baxley, professor, consultant, parenting coach, parent, and author of the book, Social Justice Parenting: How to Raise Compassionate, Anti-Racist, Justice-Minded Kids in an Unjust World.
