EQUAL Parenting Starts with YOU: Confronting Gender Biases
Manage episode 485297651 series 2980066
Are you raising your kids with invisible gender biases you don’t even realize you have?
Kate Mason sits down with clinical psychologist and author Dr. Jo-Ann Finkelstein to explore the subtle and systemic ways sexism creeps into parenting—even from the most well-meaning caregivers.
Drawing from her book Sexism and Sensibility, Finkelstein shares personal stories, clinical insights, and research that uncover how micro-messages shape our children's beliefs about gender from birth.
This conversation unpacks everything from pink hockey sticks to unconscious praise patterns and offers practical advice for raising empowered daughters (and emotionally literate sons).
A must-listen for anyone committed to raising the next generation with clarity, compassion, and equality.
