128: How to Raise Anti-Racist Children with Britt Hawthorne

I know we all want a better world for our children, that's a big part of why you're on this respectful parenting journey with me, right? At some level, most of us believe that by raising our children with dignity, respect, and emotional intelligence, we will send out emotionally healthy, whole children who know how to stand up for themselves, what healthy relationships look like, and how to advocate for a more just world. This is truly powerful and world-changing work, and a significant part of creating this truer, more beautiful world, is helping our children learn to see inequity, get curious about bias and prejudice and engage with the process of dismantling the -isms that hold us all back. But the "how" of actually doing that work, can be so daunting. So I invite you to join me for a super practical conversation on this topic with ​ Britt Hawthorne. She is a Black bi-racial momma, teacher, author, and anti-bias and antiracist facilitator. Britt partners with caregivers, educators, and families to raise the next generation of antiracist children. Together with her beloved partner, they are raising their children to become empathic, critical thinkers, embracing justice and activism. ​ Be sure to follow Britt on her Instagram @britthawthorne (her page is one of my favorites- so much gold!) and visit her website britthawthorne.com.
