If you are an ECE educator or even a parent of a 3-8yr old looking to build more nature-based and justice-oriented learning experiences into your life and work with kids, come join us at this virtual event! I’ll be presenting at 10am on the 4th. Hope to see you there!

Yess! So nice to meet you! Welcome ❤️🌱

If you are a home educating family, are you *also* explicitly teaching your children the importance of supporting public education? If not, it’s time to start.

My kids have had a lot of questions about current events this week. If you’re looking for ways to engage your kids on the topic of immigration, here’s a free download. Includes kid-friendly language, discussion prompts, book list, and an art project.

This 💯. This is what I want to do for my doctorate (if I ever get one…)

Ooh this one looks so good! 😍

Estela Juarez was just 8 years old when her mom was deported to Mexico. Until Someone Listens is a story BY a kid FOR kids about how US immigration laws and policies impact real people and real families. It’s a story of how families belong together, and of how kids can be empowered as changemakers📚

💯!! Kids are so intuitive they know things are happening. Adults thinking kids are oblivious is simply not true and frankly insulting to them. They need digestible (factual) explanations or they’ll make up their own. 🫣

Yesss! Glad you’re here 🫶🏼

The best! Mine would both be stoked for those too 😍

I love it so much and totally want to geek out with him but my husband made me promise no new activities or deep dives after 9 because…well…then it’s midnight before we look at the clock again. 😂😬🤷🏻‍♀️

Almost 10pm and my 6yr old is still sitting next to me on the couch. When I asked him why he was there instead of in bed he responded, “I’m sitting here because I just have so many questions. Like seriously how do our bones even stay together?!” #unschoolinglife 😂

There has to be a reason to hope and realistic ways to take action that they can digest. I don’t think there is an alternative when you’re trying to explain these things to kids! Hope it helps your family’s convos and thank you for talking to your kids. They deserve to know. ❤️❤️

Doing it with little support is SO hard. We also had very little. My hubs quit his job to stay home with them when I went back after maternity leave so one of us was always there. We did 6-8 hour shifts “on” and then would swap - did that around the clock for a lot of the first year. Hang in there!

My 6yr old has been acutely aware of politics this week and has been asking every day, “Mommy, what did Trump do today?” We’ve talked about a lot of those things, but tonight I told him we’re going to start asking a new question: “What did we/I/others do to make the world better today?”

Mine are 6 (almost 7). That first year was brutal - I basically don’t remember it at all 😂. Hang in there Mama! It gets easier!

Where are my anti-oppression, anti-racist families, educators, and grown ups who want to co-create more humanizing spaces and relationships with kids? I create family and educator resources for growing toward collective liberation and a more inclusive world. Let’s raise some change makers! 🌱
