Ben Yosua-Davis and Nicole Diroff are the hosts of the new Climate Changed podcast. They also have something else in common. They are both parents.
Ben is a father to two amazing children. Michael, is his six year-old creative social butterfly. Genevieve is his sweet and ferocious two year old."
Nicole is a mother to a second grader.
Parenting comes with so many unique joys and challenges, and parenting in a climate-changed world in particular, raises so many questions for us.
- As our children are discovering the wonders of the natural world, How much do we tell them about the ecological disasters happening all around us?
- How do we create space for their grief and anger?
- How do we prepare them to live in a world that is already different from the one we knew as children?
- How do we raise resilient children who are prepared for the trauma that’s predicted for their lifetimes?
- How do we instill in them empathy and love for all earthlings?
As parents, Christians, citizens, and friends, we talk a lot about these issues, so we decided to bring others into the conversation.
In the first season of Climate Changed we connect with thought leaders, ministers, activists, and other parents who are considering similar questions.
