Part 1 The Impact of School Safety Procedures on Students’ Lives: A Conversation with My 11-Year-Old Daughter

Listen Later

How does your child feel about the safety measures in their school? In today's special episode, I had an eye-opening conversation with my 11-year-old daughter as we explored her thoughts on school safety and the new clear backpack policy in her district. Together, we examined Bronfenbrenner's Ecological System Theory, providing valuable insight into the various influences that impact our lives and how we play a role in others' systems.


Listen in as my daughter shares her perspective on emergency drills, safety procedures, and her thoughts on the clear backpack and lunchbox policy. Our discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding and acknowledging our children's views on school security and how these new protocols make them feel. Join us in this heartfelt conversation and learn from my daughter's experiences as we navigate the challenges of transitioning to middle school and adapting to new policies.
