Podcast appearances and mentions of traci baxley

Have you listened to the FULL EPISODE yet?"Social justice and activism really starts in your own house. What you do in the privacy of your own homes shows up in the public spaces. There's a difference between raising good people and raising pro-justice kids who are the activists, the agitators, the ones who are proactive and standing in the gap for other people." - Dr. Traci BaxleyDr. Traci Baxley brings her profound insights into parenting and social justice, addressing the complex challenges of raising conscious children in today's world. With remarkable candor, she emphasizes that the journey is inherently messy and there's no single correct path. Drawing from her extensive experience in education and parenting, Baxley challenges the conventional notion that simply raising "good people" is enough, instead advocating for a more proactive approach to cultivating social awareness in children.In this deeply moving conversation, Baxley addresses the personal costs and transformational rewards of engaging in anti-racist work and social justice education. She shares practical wisdom about navigating the discomfort of growth, the importance of authentic engagement versus performative activism, and how parents can create meaningful change starting within their own homes. Her approach emphasizes the power of listening, learning, and allowing marginalized voices to lead while using one's platform to support and amplify these essential conversations.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter!

Inequality is a pervasive problem in society that leads to individuals and entire communities feeling undervalued and neglected and can have adverse impacts. We excitedly welcome acclaimed Harvard sociologist Michèle Lamont for this discussion, who joins Debbie to impart wisdom and discoveries from her powerful book, Seeing Others: How Recognition Works and How It Can Heal a Divided World. As they explore the complicated topic of recognition in society, Michele draws from almost four decades of research and interviews with young adults, cultural figures, and advocates for change to highlight the differences in treatment given to certain groups, the impacts of denied recognition, and the role of narratives in shaping societal and cultural norms and values. We also get Michele's informed perspective on the social changes needed for us to cultivate a more compassionate and inclusive society. If this topic speaks to you, please join us for this very meaningful discussion and be part of the change we want to see in the world! Listen and Learn:  Michele explains how certain groups within society are valued and recognized, while others are left feeling devalued and overlooked The denial of recognition and dignity to marginalized groups and how this negatively impacts their well-being and sense of value within society Why psychology may not be able to capture the concept of worth comprehensively How internalized cultural narratives perpetuate and become embedded over time, and what is being done at a cultural level to change them What is normal universalism?  Is there hope for a more inclusive future that values and includes all people? If Michèle could change one narrative related to the concept of worthiness, what would it be?

She goes into details on why she coaches parents to acknowledge race and shares tangible examples of age appropriate ways we can talk about these things with both our school aged children and younger kiddos as well.Have you ever been in a situation where your child has asked a question right in front of another person?

Parenting books and research on kids often lump middle schoolers together with young elementary school kids or older adolescents. This obscures the fact that middle school is its own distinct phase. Join Jill as she talks with therapist, school counselor, and middle school expert, Phyllis Fagell, about the unique challenges middle schoolers face and how parents can help them build key skills to thrive. Fagell sees middle school as parents' “last best chance” to influence their kids at a time when they are still impressionable and still really care what their parents think.  Listen and Learn: ·      What Yael's friends and son shared were their greatest middle school challenges ·      Why middle school matters—what is unique about this development stage and why we should attend to it ·      How we can encourage critical thinking in middle schoolers using hypothetical scenarios ·      The importance of purpose, what purpose really means, and how to help kids connect with theirs ·      Why kids tell lies and how to handle it when they do ·      How to manage tough questions about sex, drugs, and other challenging topics ·      The difference between bullying and other interpersonal challenges and when to intervene vs letting kids work things out on their own About Phyllis Fagell Phyllis L. Fagell, LCPC is the school counselor at Sheridan School in Washington, DC, a therapist who works with kids and families in private practice, and an author and journalist.

In this highly anticipated interview, Dr. Traci Baxley and I discuss a critical topic in today's world: raising justice-minded children. Dr. Baxley's book Social Justice Parenting: How to Raise Compassionate, Anti-Racist, Justice-minded Kids in an Unjust World is incredibly powerful and I recommend that everyone read it. I am thrilled to have Dr. Baxley join the Diverse Thinking Different Learning Podcast today to talk about her book and what exactly Social Justice Parenting really is. In addition to being an author, Dr. Baxley is also a professor, consultant, parenting coach, speaker, and mother to five children. Her passion and specialization is in belonging, diversity and inclusion, and social justice education. Her guidance is needed now more than ever as we navigate parenting children through a world that doesn't yet embrace differences. How can we as parents, caretakers, and educators raise children who are compassionate, kind, loving, accepting, and aspire to be change agents? Listen to Dr. Baxley's important message and get your hands on a copy of her book.   Show Notes: [1:46] - Welcome to the show, Dr. Baxley!

[8:33] - It is not just about race, but all identities. [10:00] - Dr. Baxley shares the neurodiversity of her family. [11:12] - It is important to instill a sense of confidence and acceptance of the labels placed by society as a wonderful part of them, rather than something to feel shame about. [12:04] - When you accept your child for all that they are, it makes it easier for them to accept their life journey too. [13:34] - It is a daily challenge to parent out of radical love and reflection rather than fear. [14:55] - We owe our children the acknowledgement of our own mistakes and acting out of alignment with core values. [16:47] - This modeling is something that your child will remember when they interact with others in the world. [18:55] - There are times when children who learn differently will not feel included.

As parents, we get it wrong a lot of the time. But the truth is that our kids feel perfect love simply when we show up and spend time with them, not when we know all the right answers. Being able to honestly reflect on our actions, as well as being vulnerable with our kiddos when we need to repair and apologize, are critical to creating a safe haven to raise kids who can navigate their own difficulties and range of emotions.  Today Dr. Traci Baxley, the creator of Social Justice Parenting, shares her own imperfect parenting moments, how to tackle the inner mean mom who likes to guilt trip, and how to show up with radical love—especially around diversity and inclusion.

In the wake of George Floyd, many parents' eyes have been opened to the injustices that BIPOC communities face on a day-to-day basis. This has also left many parents questioning how to "do the work" and raise inclusive children. Figuring out where to start when it comes to anti-racism and social justice work can feel quite daunting. Dr. Traci Baxley is here to teach us about ways we can use our parenting as a form of activism, teaching our children to show up and intervene on behalf of others. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/2Z2vgHq

I truly believe, from the bottom of my heart, that one of the most effective ways we as parents can change the world is through our children and our parenting. That conscious, respectful parenting is in itself a radical act of activism in a world that is unjust. And that anti-racist activism is an integral part of this work that we are all doing as we raise our kids differently than how we were parented. I know that you too seek to raise a generation of children who know who they are and what matters to them, who deeply understand justice and seek it in all their spaces, who are fierce advocates not only for themselves but for others, who are more proactive in their kindness, and who intercedes when harm is done. ​ This is why I'm so thrilled to have Dr. Traci Baxley of Social Justice Parenting as a guest for this week's episode on The Balanced Parent Podcast. She is a professor, consultant, parenting coach, speaker, mother to five children, and the author of a new book that comes out TODAY: Social Justice Parenting. As an educator for over 30 years with degrees in child development, elementary education, and curriculum and instruction, she specializes in diversity and inclusion, anti-bias curriculum, and social justice education.

Regardless if you are a parent or not, we all have moments where we witness the upcoming generation and wonder about the world that awaits them.

After the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent Black Lives Matter uprising, many people grappled with the discomfort of racial bias and how it showed up in their lives, communities, and upbringing. The need to become actively anti-racist has been an evolving mission of mine as I seek to teach my children about social justice, inclusivity, and compassion for all.  Cultural and race identity coach and Professor, Dr. Traci Baxley supports parents on their journey to becoming allies, helping them move from fear-based parenting. By leaning into the discomfort of triggering topics like race, politics, and current social injustices, we can build a future generation to be proud of.  This episode is a fantastic resource for parents to evolve their value system and take actionable steps towards social justice parenting.   You will learn about...

What an important conversation I am sharing with you guys today. I recently had the tremendous honor of having a conversation with Dr. Traci Baxley, the author of Social Justice Parenting: How to raise compassionate, anti-racist, justice-minded kids in an unjust world. Dr. Baxley's work introduces clear, do-able and specific steps for families to take to engage in the social justice activism that today's society needs most. She specifically addresses why “raising good kids” and “protecting my little kids from the problems of the world” are false narratives that white parents {myself included} must continue to push back against.And, best of all, Dr. Baxley presents this important conversation in an open-hearted, shame-free way. When I read her book, I felt clear and empowered to introduce important narratives to my children and to engage them in ways our family can take supportive actions.I told her before we started recording that I felt like we were already friends just from reading her book, and that is even more true after our conversation. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Please, please, please go buy her book, read it, and start having these conversations with your own families, if you aren't already. Lastly, if you are curious why a conversation about social justice is happening on a meditation podcast, please take a moment to listen to today's episode. Our meditation practice allows us to create connection, clarity and compassion for ourselves, but it doesn't stop there. Our practice ultimately expands outward until we know our connection to all beings everywhere as a true, immutable fact. And, that knowledge asks us to step into action to support our beliefs. That doesn't mean you have to be at every protest; it doesn't mean that we each do what we can to eliminate the suffering of all beings, everywhere. In small, manageable ways. With heart. I love you all; keep practicing and enjoy today's episode.
