May 7, 2018: Crisp Media / Vancouver Mom CEO Christine Pilkington was on Global News discussing ways to raise feminist kids, both boys and girls. With recent movements in North America including #MeToo and #Timesup, parents are wondering how to talk to their kids about equality.

Some Tips

• Model equality as a couple and as a family.
• Point out instances of inequality when you see them.
• Discuss your privilege (and other things you noticed throughout the day) at the dinner table.
• Pay attention to the media, in particular ads directed at women’s beauty.
• Discuss stereotypes of boys, girls, men and women.
• Watch your words – (Dad’s don’t cook / boys don’t cry )
• Talking about bodies (avoid body shaming – just don’t)
• Let kids wear what they want.
• Underscore that who they are on the inside is the most important thing.
