These parent questions will help your child know who you are and learn a little bit about how you grew up, who you were then, what you are proud of and more. We also have general questions. These are perfect for nights when you just want to talk. They also work well as conversation starters when you have dinner guests. Use this book to help sibling relationships as well.

Download or read book Nurturing Difficult Conversations in Education written by Katarzyna Fleming and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-07-11 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a critical discussion on the necessity for 'difficult conversations' to take place in education, drawing on studies from across the UK. The editors and contributors address three key questions: - How can 'difficult conversations' be theorised? - What transformations in thinking and practice can occur through 'difficult conversations'? - What value do 'difficult conversations' have in enabling understanding and compassion between the diverse communities of today? The chapters cover a range of topics including supporting children with SEND, parent and carer engagement, childhood trauma, race, disability, the climate emergency, and the researcher's positionality. The contributors draw on the theoretical work of bell hooks, Linda Alcoff, Paulo Freire, Victor Turner, Homi Bhabha, Nel Nodings, Melanie Nind, Emile Bojesen, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Mathew Lipman, and other contemporary theories. They argue against the prevailing deficit-based perspectives about marginalized communities and invite deep thinking about the nature of oppression experienced in many spheres of education and therefore in our society. Ultimately, the book advocates for the empowerment and agency of anyone facing social inequalities through engagement in 'difficult conversations' as a means of transformation and social change.
