Hi Friends!

How we raise critical thinkers beyond kidlit

Family Movie Nights give us an opportunity to gather as a family without the pressure of production, performing, or ‘educating’ each other.

Check out the ever-growing archive in our Family Movie Night Collection and be sure share how you discuss each film with your kids and what you learn together!

Enjoy some ranting & check out the recaps I’ve added this month:

This November, we're unpacking false binaries & examining draining friendships.

“I’m trying to be a lot more explicit about the fact that ‘culturally normative’ is not the same thing as ‘true.'”

“And to be transparent and honest about the deeply problematic parts of my culture that I have absorbed and have to consciously push back against.”

– Tricia L., Recognizing Supremacy Discussion

Join the thoughtful discussions in our Dismantling Supremacy threads!

Coming up next: Join our 6-week friendship discussion group!

We’re joining together with the When We Gather Collective (founded by LBT member Bellamy S.) to learn how to identify draining friendships and how to model healthy friendship boundaries for our kids.

I’ll be back with details on what to expect and how to join next week.

Meanwhile – start exploring the theme of our discussion here.

You can download the free Marco Polo app on your phone if you’re curious about how we’ll connect through our conflicting schedules and time zones.

With you,

Ashia

PS: My partner is in the interview/hiring process with four promising leads! Thank you everybody for your support while we get through this bumpy time <3 🙂 <3
