Cyla reads excerpts from A Kids Book About Racism by Jelani Memory and Systemic Racism by Jordan Thierry, and explains the definition as read from those books on both.

We talk about what Racism sounds like, feels like and as white people, try to consider the struggle and oppression Black and Brown people must feel on a daily basis. We take the time to consider what we could do differently to contribute positively every day in our own lives and to speak out against racism whenever we see it.

This episode we felt a bit rocked by the news of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg passing on the night of Rosh Hashanah. We talk about the importance of RBGs contributions to our country and the ways she gave a voice to those that needed to be heard. We discuss how we can use the legacy of RBG’s famous phrase “I Dissent” in our own ways.

This news also led to an important discussion about Anxiety and thankfully we found a resource to discuss these big feelings in the series A Kid’s Book About.. this episode's topic, Anxiety. Written by Ross Szabo!

Cyla walks us through 3 breathing techniques to help manage Anxiety and some other ways to deal. Following the episode, Cyla reads A Kids’ Book About Anxiety, written by to our friends on YouTube and Instagram @shesoundslikeme - read along with us and check out some of these other helpful resources to keep handy next time you feel a belly full of goofballs:

And so it begins. Name calling, teasing, whispers, dirty looks. Tricks of the bully business as old as the ages, and it is still as shocking and sad for all involved the day it begins for our kids. Bully behavior is happening earlier and earlier these days, with the help of the internet and social media, so how can we teach our kids how to prepare and handle this hurtful behavior from the start?

This week, Cyla explains a bit of how this started for her and shares some tips on how to cope from a kids perspective. We also tap into resources from our favs, A Kids Book About Bullying by Elizabeth Tom for more insight. Grown ups of girls can also learn how to apply real world techniques from the incredibly helpful book No More Mean Girls, written by child and adolescent psychotherapist Katie Hurley.

Grab your kids and listen in. Together, let’s remind them to treat others how they wish to be treated and that kindness really does make the world go ‘round.
