Right now, we are all being called to the work of explaining these difficult times to our children. There is uncertainty, division, and—most of all—fear. We are committed to supporting families and teachers to be the loving guides children need now.
We have gathered some links and resources to guide you in your discussions with your family. First, check out an Our Family Coalition made resource, What a Trump/Pence Presidency Means For LGBTQ Family Rights. More suggested resources include:
- A list of ways to talk about post election feelings in the classroom
- A list of ways to talk to children about post election fears for families and teachers
- A survey for teachers to contribute to the national conversation on post-election school
