Content: " An empowering, timely guide to raising anti-racist, compassionate, and socially conscious children, from a diversity and inclusion educator with more than thirty years of experience.As a global pandemic shuttered schools across the country in 2020, parents found themselves thrust into the role of teacher8212 in more ways than one. Not only did they take on remote school supervision, but after the murder of George Floyd and the ensuing Black Lives Matter protests, many also grappled with the responsibility to teach their kids about social justice8212 with few resources to guide them. Now, in Social Justice Parenting, Dr. Traci Baxley8212 a professor of education who has spent 30 years teaching diversity and inclusion8212 will offer the essential guidance and curriculum parents have been searching for. Dr. Baxley, a mother of five herself, suggests that parenting is a form of activism, and encourages parents to acknowledge their influence in developing compassionate, socially-conscious kids. Importantly, Dr. Baxley also guides parents to do the work of recognizing and reconciling their own biases. So often, she suggests, parents make choices based on what's best for their children, versus what's best for all children in their community. Dr. Baxley helps readers take inventory of their actions and beliefs, develop self-awareness and accountability, and become role models. Poised to become essential reading for all parents committed to social change, Social Justice Parenting will offer parents everywhere the opportunity to nurture a future generation of humane, compassionate individuals.

Her program for raising children so that they can recognize injustice and work to change it consists of five parts: reflection, open dialogue, compassion, kindness, and social engagement. Through anecdotes from her life, Baxley explains how to use those principles to reject racism (“Learn something new. Acknowledge the fear”), become an ally (a friend of Baxley’s who said something racist was corrected and accepted the criticism with humility), and teach kindness to children (parents must make it a value in their own lives, and kids will reflect it). She offers exercises, too, such as creating a shared journal to better communicate with a child, and gives modeled dialogue for conversations about death, sexual assault, and homelessness in one’s community. Baxley shines in her ability to be encouraging without being judgmental: “If this seems like a lot to take in, let me tell you that it’s okay to start with small steps.” This hopeful guide inspires.

" Rezension(4): "〈a href=http://lj.libraryjournal.com/ target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/libraryjournal_logo.png alt=Library Journal border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from August 1, 2021 This book is for parents who want to discuss racial, social, and economic inequities with their young children in a healthy and beneficial way. It draws from Baxley's (prof. of education, Florida Atlantic Univ., Equity Pedagogy ) specialty in social justice pedagogy, and also calls on her lived experience as a Black parent of five biracial children. Here she defines a Social Justice Home--one that is accountable,grounded in the lives, interests, and experiences of each family member,pro-justice and empathetic,reflective and dialogic,and aware that all of us are in process. Baxley theorizes the social justice approach to parenting and offers guidance for turning philosophy into practice using five principles: Reflection, Open Dialogue, Compassion, Kindness, and Social Justice Engagement. Each chapter includes journaling prompts. VERDICT Baxley's meaty book is sure to provoke thought and positive dialogue,a must-read. Copyright 2021 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission. "
