Episode 20: Growing Up in the Age of Gun Violence Grow Up
-
- Parenting
It felt inappropriate and insignificant to discuss anything other than the heaviness, despair and grief we are collectively feeling after the Uvalde, Texas tragedy in the USA less than one week ago. It feels particularly horrifying when we consider the ages of most victims, while also adding to the weight of other current events (2+ years into a deadly pandemic, a war in Ukraine, divisive political climate, countless attacks on women and BIPOC as well as gender identity and sexuality... the list goes on.) In this episode I invited early childhood educator, mother, and good friend, "Ms. Katie" to offer her expertise through the eyes of both a teacher and a parent. It is a heavy but necessary conversation in this day and age. You ready? It's time to GROW UP.
