Today, I read the news and am raging. And I kept Today, I read the news and am raging. And I kept thinking, it didn't start there! It starts in the small things, in the tiny everyday decisions we barely question. It starts with society deciding which stories are cool and worth reading, and which aren't. And the sad part is that no child is born believing some stories aren't for them. They learn it. So the next time you choose a book for your child, consider their interests, consider their needs but please, pause before you filter by gender. If this made you uncomfortable, sit with it, please. If you are an adult who read for yourself or to children, tell us what you think? Have you noticed this bias? How do you counter it? #ammatoday
This is the work we do in our Sacred Story Circles This is the work we do in our Sacred Story Circles. Spaces where children listen to stories, but they also feel, reflect, share and listen. This week, 2 adults asked me, "Can children really understand these things?" and I thought, "why not share a little piece of our sessions?" This month we don't have a SSC running and I'm missing my babies a little extra today. But here is a reminder that all children have feelings. They explore them as deep as the spaces and support they are provided with. #ammatoday
Instagram celebrates early readers. And early read Instagram celebrates early readers. And early reading, if child- led can still be a sign of intellectual curiosity, memory, etc. But that is not what typically happens. Unfortunately, We’ve made reading about how early, how fast, how well and how many. But lifelong reading is built very differently. Raising a reader is about nurturing the relationship a child has with a book. How are you doing that? #ammatoday
