Education is a hot topic among parents and teachers. Parents, justifiably so, want to be sure their kids are getting an education during the 7-10 hours they spend at school.

In this episode, we sit down with Principal and author, Greg Wilkey, to discuss all things school.

Society and culture have long dictated fashion. Attaching clothing to gender roles, however, can limit self-expression. In this episode, we’re exploring the history of clothes, how clothing has differed among genders/s*xes throughout human history, and how gendering clothing can impact our children’s development. 

Below, are some of the questions that spark much of the conversation around this episode:

* How have historical shifts in the perception of makeup, clothing, and nail polish shaped current gender norms? 

* How do different cultures approach gender norms related to makeup, clothing, and nail polish? 

* How can parents encourage their children to explore these areas without adhering to traditional gender expectations?

* How do societal expectations around makeup, clothing, and nail polish impact the mental health and self-esteem of individuals, particularly those who do not conform to traditional gender norms?
