Young people have a right to express their views and opinions while adults have a responsibility to support those young people. Marta shares some of her tips of how to build strong relationships with the young people in our lives by truly offering them this right to participate.

Building the Future Through Youth Rights
Annie Friday is joined by team members from the National Youth Rights Association who are working hard to raise awareness about the importance of youth rights. Youth seem to be one group still very much systemically and structurally kept from their own human rights with very few adults even recognizing the importance of youth rights. Child abuse - mental, emotional, physical, or financial - and negative attitudes toward children both occur at extreme rates in part because this group is not well protected by current US law. Schools are often seen as a stopgap or screening tool for abuse, but that can't help when the abuse is happening institutionally. Listen in as Zane, Eric, Imogen, and Susan share more about this critical work of advocacy, awareness, and change.

Why Is Process Art So Important?
Annie Friday is joined this week by Cindy Curry, a veteran early childhood care provider based in Canada. Cindy has been supporting young people through process art experiences for decades now. Cindy shares some stories of meaningful moments that occurred by giving children the freedom to explore the process of art making. Art is very different from craft, and while many of us melt over our children's tiny handprints forever captured in salt dough, it's important to ensure young people get to have the control over their own day-to-day experiences in the classroom too. Listen in and learn how you can also loosen your grip over the final product and allow more creative freedom in your learning and care spaces.
