Talking with Kids about Global Crisis with Desireé B. Stephens: Episode 205

In this episode of The Peaceful Parenting Podcast, I have a conversation with Desireé B. Stephens about her 10 conscious steps to talking to kids about global crisis. These steps cover a lot of ground, from what this looks like in our homes and our relationships with our kids, assessing capacity and taking time to rest, as well as how we can take action outside in the world around us.
