Raising Change Agents: Practicing Social Justice in Everyday Parenting

Tools and strategies for busy parents seeking to instill social justice values in their children

Raising Change Agents gives parents the tools they need to weave social justice actions into their daily routines, raise socially conscious kids, and address their own triggers and trauma, helping them become more than performative, take a proactive approach, and teach their kids and themselves to live in alignment with their values, even when they feel overwhelmed with the demands of work and homelife. The author's proven framework focuses on breaking the abstract concepts of social justice actions into bite-sized actions that parents can implement throughout the day whether during mealtime, bath time, play, or school drop off.

The book explores how to:

• Raise children to be social change agents by first becoming one
• Practice social justice in daily parenting while promoting a child's development at the same time; each social justice action in this book is linked to developmental psychology
• Take concrete actions to support doing the "heart work" of liberation together for the long haul, because liberation starts at home

Raising Change Agents is an essential read for busy parents who believe in social justice initiatives and want to instill these values in their children but don't yet have the tools and strategies to do so, along with practitioners, therapists, educators, and other professionals who work with children.
