Do you ever wonder how to raise your kids to be engaged, responsible citizens? I know, it sounds crazy because they’re tiny and civic responsibility seems like something to worry about way off in the future. But the truth is, the experiences our children have from an early age shape how they interact with their communities and the world around them.

 

In this episode, I sit down with Kelly Siegel-Stechler, a researcher at the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) at Tufts University. As an expert in civic development and political socialization, Kelly shares invaluable insights on how parents can foster a sense of agency, community engagement, and civic responsibility in their kids from a young age.

 

Tune in this week to discover the power of everyday moments in setting your children on the path to becoming active, engaged citizens.
