This is a great roadmap Deepa, thanks for sharing! While my kids are not directly impacted by wider American politics there is much discussion about it, and issues closer to home, in our family. I especially relate to the points on young people making connections with real people to help navigate their understanding of the situations they face. As I am on the pinnacle of parenting teenagers and have all the issues that come along with social media (they are not allowed yet) I find this point on your roadmap very helpful.
I love this roadmap and am excited to share with my 13 year old. I especially like the reminder to abandon purity - such a good way to describe something worry about a lot because it creates such a barrier to thriving for us individually and for our movements.
Thank you for sharing 🩷
