How can children become kind, compassionate and ready to change the world some day?

For a parenting confidence boost in these difficult times during the pandemic and culture divide, listen in on Friday night as Natural Alternative’s new host, John Scardina, discusses how to practice empathetic and connected parenting.

John and Karen discuss real world examples of school and professional study programs to raise awareness of better listening techniques and ways to think about privilege and pronouns. Learn about Traci Brazley's book Social Justice Parenting.

Parenting can seem overwhelming, especially now, so listen in to get some good tips on how to approach challenges you face on a daily basis. Become good parenting agitators and co-conspirators along with John and Karen!
