How do we teach our children about violence in a way that empowers them rather than instills fear? Are we actively debunking the myth that violence is justice? Tune in as we navigate the challenge of discussing violence with our children - an issue our own parents often shied away from.
I'm a Mom, War Veteran and Peacemaker and I'm sharing how we can center our kids dignity and empower them to be part of our communities. We'll delve into the importance of age-appropriate conversations, fostering resilience in our children, and introducing them to the power they hold to make a difference.
Familiar with the adage 'love thy neighbor'? Let's go beyond mere words and actualize this in our communities. We'll explore practical ways to show up for our neighbors when violence strikes and promote a sense of unity rather than division. We'll also tackle the recent events in Israel and Gaza. How do we discuss this with our children? We'll provide you with comprehensive strategies, from understanding what your children already know, to breaking down the story into digestible bits, and guiding them towards actionable steps. This episode is packed with insights you don't want to miss!
We promise not to oversimplify things. No more 'good guys' and 'bad guys', but a conversation that promotes peace, love, and understanding. As we move into the second part of our conversation, we will challenge the narrative that encourages division and hatred, focusing instead on community engagement and balanced perspectives. We'll discuss how we can help our children understand that violence and hatred are never the answers, and that peace is something we can actively work towards.
By providing a Pro-Israeli, Pro-Palestinian, Pro-Peace lens to see the Israel-Gaza conflict, through we offer our children the opportunity to become positive global citizens. Join us as we explore these complex issues, arming ourselves with knowledge and compassion to guide the next generation toward a peaceful future.
