In this encore episode of the podcast, we revisit an episode from 2023 where Dr. Nanika Coor shared tips for talking to kids about the ways that the Black Freedom Movement—from the abolitionist movement in the 1800s to the Black Power Movement in the 1960s and 1970s—inspired many future movements—including the LGBTQIA+ liberation movement. The theme for NYC Pride Month that year was “Strength in Solidarity,” reflecting the power and resiliency of the LGBTQIA+ community and its allies.

School’s just about out for the summer - now what?

Many parents will have signed their kids up for numerous camps and enrichment experiences by now, making sure that they won’t have to hear the dreaded “I’m bored!” refrain repeated endlessly. That makes sense since kids are often passive receivers - of entertainment that both their technology and many toys that are made for children provide. They are also often passive recipients of education. Most are required to go to a formal school setting whether or not they want to, where they tend to be externally motivated by systems of rewards and punishments to do what adults tell them to do and learn what they’re told to learn and when.

This means that many kids these days don’t have or take as many opportunities to create their own fun or decide what to do with their time as they once did. Furthermore, high-pressure academic environments can leave kids feeling anxious and depressed about where they fall in grade rankings - or that their scores are worth more than they are. Rather than developing a love of learning, these kids can end up developing the false idea that how they “perform” their learning means more than the learning itself.
