Parenting for Social Change - Transform Childhood, Transform the World Teresa Graham Brett

Parenting for Social Change is a powerful parenting book that is not about children, but about the harmful cultural messages adults perpetuate in their relationships with children.

In this compelling call for change, Teresa Graham Brett addresses the work parents must do to free themselves, the children who share their lives, and the world from these harmful messages. Using current research, she debunks the myth that controlling children is necessary to ensure that they grow into healthy and responsible adults. She also shares her own parenting journey away from controlling and dominating children and provides strategies for letting go of harmful control.

Through her experiences as a social justice educator, she demonstrates how changing our parent-child relationships plays a critical role in creating social change.
