I spent my career as a professional writer and researcher, simultaneously raising two (now-grown) inclusive children. My writing focus now is 100% fueled by my passion to empower parents with the resources they need to raise inclusive children. The timing couldn't be better. As the world (slowly) awakens to the dire need to reduce cultural unfairness, helping parents raise a generation of equality-minded humans is absolutely critical.

About This Guidebook
A page of a guidebook Description automatically generatedIntroduction
Instead of focusing on ageist stereotypes, the emphasis of this guidebook is to help your child forge (or strengthen) a positive relationship with an older person.
We filled each page with practical ideas and step-by-step instructions, so you can send your child out into the world equipped with the skills needed to treat older people with the kindness and respect they deserve.
Chapter 1 starts things off with suggestions for getting a ‘read’ on what your child already knows about the value of older people.
The rest of the chapters offer step-by-step instructions for explaining aging basics, encouraging friendships with older people, questions your child can and should ask an older person, and finally, ideas for cultivating a positive attitude about older people at home.
While there’s no one-size-fits-all approach for teaching kids understanding and respect for older people, this guidebook provides suggestions for scenarios that you can tailor to fit your own situation.
Every family has their own way of doing things. We get that.
