Families and educators both help build these skills:
This works best when we:
- Know how to effectively advocate for our kids and communicate with teachers & school leaders
- Practice talking to our kids about conflict and injustices
Let's explore that last idea a bit. Imagine...
We talk to our kids about big topics in a way that helps them understand the world and their place in it.
We are prepared for conversations about politics, social issues, and current events.
This could transform our kids, our families, and our communities.
Because we’ve all been there when your kid comes home from school after learning about difficult historical events… Or they see another student in the class being harmed… Or they see a news story featuring violence or oppression…
And they’ve got questions. So many questions!
Which means that you, as a parent or caregiver, also have questions. You might be wondering:
And they’ve got questions. So many questions!
Which means that you, as a parent or caregiver, also have questions. You might be wondering:
- How do I answer that? I don’t even know much about it myself.
- Will it make my child more upset to talk about this or less? When’s the best time to bring this up?
- What’s appropriate for them to learn at this age?
Partner with me:
You’re not alone in this! As educators, we partner with schools and families in our goal to empower kids and tap into their brilliant creativity to transform our societies through their creative solutions.
And I believe this comes down to family-school partnerships and conversation with kids at home and at school. Families can prepare themselves with resources, knowledge, and real-life practice that helps them build skills to engage in courageous conversations at home and support students' skill-building in school.
You should have a whole team in your family's corner, helping your child grow and learn.
