Vegan Parenting in a Pandemic, Part 1
03/26/20 • 21 min
What advice do parents have for talking to our kids about these strange times? I share what I learned from listening to U.S. House Rep. Katie Porter(CA, D), I interview my kids about their challenges during these times and how they understand it all, and I reference my latest publication in tenderlymag that gives all kinds of ideas about how to stay active for animals during a pandemic. https://medium.com/tenderlymag/staying-active-for-the-animals-during-a-pandemic-19fc40c29b62. Also, we talk lots about Linus, our new puppy, and how he is the cornerstone of self-care around our home right now. Tune in, connect, and take care!
