Identity - What Children Learn Without Us Noticing

In my latest episode of The Everyday Global Citizen Podcast, I reflect on how children develop their sense of identity - and how much of that learning happens quietly, in everyday moments.

In the episode, I explore how:

• Identity is not something we teach directly - children learn it through experience
• Children constantly pick up signals about who they are and where they fit
• Silence also communicates what is accepted, valued, or avoided

What stands out to me is this:

We often focus on what we are teaching intentionally.
But children are always learning - especially from what we don’t notice ourselves.

And over time, these small signals shape how they understand who they are.

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