#256 - Don’t miss our first video podcast! Candace Trinchieri and Sophie Salvatore share their personal experiences during this critical turning point in American history. We check my white privilege, laugh about school Zoom calls gone wrong, and stress the importance of talking to our children about race in preschool.
From sheltering-in-place for months on end to our collective grief over the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks and Ahmaud Arbery, we are facing a reckoning and a turning point as a country. There is so much for us to unpack from the parenting perspective. Join us!
