QuickAndDirtyTips.com
Project Parenthood, hosted by clinical psychologist and respectful parenting advocate Dr. Nanika Coor, offers a refreshing alternative to traditional parenting advice. We believe raising the next generation involves fostering intentional, collaborative relationships with all children—whether you're a parent, teacher, mentor, or caregiver.
Each week, we dive into the depths of childhood, giving voice to young people and exploring their complex humanity. Through real conversations, expert insights, and a commitment to intergenerational healing, we'll learn how to empower children, approach them with curiosity, and build inclusive communities where every child, especially those from marginalized groups, feels seen, heard, and understood. Join us as we work together to create a world where children thrive and understand one another, breaking harmful cycles and building a future of empathy and respect. Because if trauma can be passed down, so can mental wellness and collective understanding.
