In today's episode, we tackle the question: How do we raise  critical thinkers and children who can think for themselves and ask questions, in a world that doesn't want them to? (add embed podcast here!) In this interview, we talk with Katie Kimball of Kitchen Stewardship about how we can raise our children in a world that doesn't share our values and doesn't encourage free thinking. We specifically discuss the concepts of nutrition and food, navigating technology and social media, how to parent when your kids feel different from their peers, and more. Key points: Raising critical thinkers starts at a young age. How to navigate being "the only one" when it comes to technology rules and parenting decisions within a friend/school group. How to best prepare our children for the world ahead, starting with some basics like kitchen skills.
