Engaging Current Events without Losing Hope | Episode 82
Carole is joined by her new friend, Rachel Reeves, for a thoughtful conversation about navigating the news and helping our children engage with current events without becoming overwhelmed. Rachel began sharing headlines on her Instagram stories to help people understand what is happening in the world in a truthful, nonpartisan way, and she brings that same wisdom to the question of how much news children should be exposed to. Together, Carole and Rachel talk about sharing the news with children, understanding current events in light of history, helpful history resources, and finding an age-appropriate way to introduce children to what is happening in the world.
You’ll hear about:
- Ways to share the news with your children
- Understanding current events through the lens of history
- Favorite resources for learning history
- Age-appropriate ways to introduce children to current events
