The Imagine Neighborhood – Teaching Kids Important Issues in a Fun Ways! | POF94

Tackling social issues in today’s world is hard enough for adults, and even harder when you have to explain the issues and injustices we experience and watch to our kids! My guest, Scotty Iseri, is the creator and host of the award-winning family podcast, The Imagine Neighborhood, which is a kid-focused podcast. In this fun podcast for kids, along with promoting social-emotional learning, they teach 4 important pillars: Understanding Identity, the value of diversity, justice and injustice, and activism.  The show paves the way for parents to talk to about these big issues even if their kids are at a young age. In this episode we talk about: Teaching kids about their identity and all the things that make up who they are (not just their gender or race) and how unfair it is to be judged for just one part of who you are. The value of diversity and how it makes the world a better place Justice and injustice and how people can be excluded because of their identity (that’s true injustice) How anyone can be an activist and how we have to right injustices How we need to have grace for each other so we can forgive those who are trying to do better and sometimes get it wrong.
