    Sep 15 2024
    I am SO excited about today’s interview. You’ll recognize my guest today - Julietta Skoog my co-founder and the Early Years Lead here at Sproutable! She’s here today to talk about back-to-school season with middle schoolers. Julietta and I cover so much this week - balancing caring for our kids & our aging parents, the jarring differences between elementary & middle school, and watching their decision-making and mistakes. We talk about why kids come home so upset & frustrated from school and how to create routines & systems that work for your family. We really dig into the difference between scaffolding and witnessing, how to support middle schoolers with their homework, the friend drama (especially when it’s new friends/families that you don’t know), and how screens & texting affect those friendships. Takeways from the show “Sandwich season” - taking care of your young children & aging parents at the same time What do summers look like when your kids aren’t little anymore?

  • Eps 513: Growing our teen’s awareness around sexism with Dr. Jo-Ann Finkelstein

    Eps 513: Growing our teen’s awareness around sexism with Dr. Jo-Ann Finkelstein
    Sep 9 2024
    My guest today is Dr. Jo-Ann Finkelstein and we’re talking about sexism and our daughters. Dr. Finkelstein kicks us off by sharing how a pink hockey stick impacted her childhood and inspired her to speak about sexism & gender bias. I ask what intergenerational transmission of sexism is, and Dr. Finkelstein helps me deconstruct an incident I had with Ronan about how she was dressing in 8th grade. We ponder on how we can raise strong women in a patriarchal society that can be violent towards women without victimizing our girls or instilling fear and how to navigate bodily autonomy in a world where their bodies sometimes are not safe and don’t feel like their own. It’s you and your daughter against the unfairness of the patriarchy & the culture, not each other! I ask Dr. Finkelstein what messaging young girls are receiving from media & pop culture right now, how we can teach & encourage young women to stand up for themselves & feel empowered without putting themselves in danger, and how we can have meaningful conversations with them men & boys in our life about sexism & patriarchy. Takeaways from the show The intergenerational transmission of sexism The “battle” between moms & daughters about clothing How do we raise strong women in a patriarchal society that can be violent towards women without victimizing our girls? People get harassed (and worse) regardless of what they wear Fostering a healthy sense of entitlement in young women What messages are girls and young women receiving from pop culture and media right now? Raising boys who are sensitive to sexism and male privilege For more show notes, including transcripts, please visit our website here. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
