How Parents Shape Attitudes Toward Others

In my latest episode of The Everyday Global Citizen Podcast, I reflect on how children develop their attitudes toward others - and how much of that learning comes from what we model as adults.

In the episode, I explore how:

• Children learn more from observation than from direct teaching
• Silence also communicates what is acceptable - and what is not
• Small moments, like jokes, comments, or reactions, leave lasting impressions

What stands out to me is this:

Children don’t just learn what to think about others.
They learn how to think - through what we model every day.

And over time, those small signals shape how they relate to the world around them.

If you’d like to explore this more deeply, I invite you to listen to the full episode of The Everyday Global Citizen Podcast.
