Do you agree? It may seem to some that parenting and politics are two separate things, but in fact — EVERYTHING is politics! We love our kids, and parents' voices are POWERFUL, so we can use our voices for things that are important to kids and families. Things like: 💧 Ensuring we have clean water to drink 💰 How much we pay for things like child care 📚 What our kids can learn in school And sooooo much more! YOUR VOICE has an impact! 💪🏽 Find out how to use yours for the good of your kids — check out how on YouTube or wherever you usually listen to podcasts, or click our link in bio. ––– #parentstogether #powertotheparents #parentingpodcast #podcastforparents #parentpower #supportforparents #parentshelpingparents #changeispossible #parenting #parents #parentingishard #parentsofinstagram #bethechange

Everything else kids use (toys, food, PJs, you name it) has to meet strict safety standards, and the companies that make that stuff have to answer for it if their product harms someone. Why not social media platforms? 💪🏽 Like ParentsTogether member Neveen, you can make a difference! Start by signing the petition at our link, demanding that TikTok CLEARLY label AI-influencers. And if you/your kids have had a negative online experience, you have story to tell, or you otherwise want to get involved, please check out the Storytelling Project link in our bio, too! #parentstogether #raisingteens #takeaction #parentingtips #parenthood #protectkids #socialmediasafety #onlinesafety #protectourkids #socialmedia

Does using the REAL names for private parts make you uncomfortable? 😬 For many, especially those of us who grew up in households where “body talk” was taboo, it can be hard! But it’s also incredibly important — teaching anatomical names for body parts helps: 👉🏽 Minimize shame 👉🏽 Decrease the likelihood of s3xual abvse 👉🏽 Make it more likely that they’ll come to you or seek medical attention if there’s an issue, regardless of the body part affected 👉🏽 Promote positive body image 👉🏽 Increase their confidence in holding and respecting boundaries Here are some examples of what using anatomical body part names might sound like in everyday situations with your child. What other situations are good opportunities to reinforce this lesson? 🤔 #parentstogether #bodyautonomy #consent #consentforkids #safety #bodytalk #everydayparenting
