Moonshot: Powerful Parenting With Brave Conversations
Description:
In our moonshot series, we have set ambitious goals for both children and educators. As we prepare to close out this series, we turn our attention to supporting every family.
With headlines popping up every day regarding racism, discrimination, and censorship, how can the field of early childhood education band together to support families as they face these challenges? How can we empower families to address these issues with their children and resist the calls to censor young children from these important conversations?
Together, with Defending the Early Years (DEY), and our incredible panelists, join us on December 7 as we have a courageous discussion on parenting through brave conversations.
