Summary
An evidence-based, social justice-minded exploration of modern parenting, from an award-winning science journalist and cofounder of SciMoms
How can we raise happy, well-adjusted kids today amid so much injustice and uncertainty? This is the question at the heart of the progressive parent’s dilemma. Fortunately, award-winning science journalist Kavin Senapathy has the answers.
In this lively, accessible exploration of modern parenting, Senapathy guides listeners through the complex cultural, environmental, economic and political issues facing all families today. Equipped with practical tips and research-driven advice for parents of kids from infancy to early teens, she helps listeners build a more fulfilling relationship with their children and themselves by addressing pressing questions such as:
- Is formula feeding okay?
- What is "natural parenting"?
- How much screen time is too much screen time?
- How do I help my children navigate questions around race and gender identity?
Informed by her experiences as a nonbinary parent of color, and filled with a science journalist’s hard-won wisdom, The Progressive Parent is an essential book for any parent or parent-to-be who believes that the values of science, truth, equity and justice should be applied not only individually, but collectively.
