Stay Curious, Stand Brave & Smash The Kyriarchy

Choose Your Adventure

Hey friends!

This August, we help our kids to navigate fear and uncertainty in the face of change.

Validating kids’ big feelings through life changes. Standing in solidarity with them through confusion. Modeling resilience as we tackle the next big transition together.

Between the end of summer, going back to school, maturing bodies, and changing friendships – our kids need to feel connected as they navigate big transitions.

These kiddos are leading the next revolution. They need practice now to envision and orchestrate the good trouble to come.

Show your kids how their experiences fit into the fabric of history, and how we use their big feelings to connect with each other.

For each topic below, start with stories to introduce the challenges we’re facing together. Discuss and reflect, and then take small actions to help kids reclaim their agency in the chaos of change.

With you,

Ashia R.

Ashia (they/them or she/her)

I’m an Autistic, multiracial (Chinese/Irish) 2nd-generation settler raising two children alongside my partner on the homelands of the Wampanoag and Massachusett people. My goal with Raising Luminaries is to collaborate with families and educators in raising the next generation of kind & courageous leaders, so we can all smash the kyriarchy together.
