Kisa Marx and Samuel Broaden, authors of Rethinking Weapon Play: How to Encourage Imagination, Kindness and Consent in Your Classroom, join host Heather Bernt-Santy for a discussion of the ways adults respond to weapon play and challenge us to wonder what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and who it serves.
