Beware of 'Manhood' Boot Camps for your boy. I raise alarm over the risks associated with boot camps and forums that promise to teach your boy 'manhood' through outdated ideologies and "let's go back to our roots" nonsense. Embracing cultural evolution is essential for boys to thrive in today's society, rather than clinging to outdated cultural norms. #Manhood #CulturalEvolution #ParentingAdvice #BoysDevelopment #GenderRoles #Society #BootCampRisks #YouthEmpowerment #CrisisIntervention #ProgressiveParenting

Thank you so much to Sunrise Diversity for screening this film that shares an important piece of #history. Learning that black Caribbean children were set up to fail when required to sit culturally specific (and arbitrary) "IQ" tests in the 1960s and 70s, and then relegated to special schools for the 'Educationally SubNormal" is a shameful part of British history. The #discrimination was multilayered and built into the education system. It left a generation of children and young people #disadvantaged and slammed with #negative labels and low self-esteem. Confronting the realities of #systemic #racism, from the past as well as today, is our #responsibility. We see how the #intersection of #race and #disability plays out in the world of #neurodiversity: one US study found that white people were 65% more likely to receive an autism diagnosis than those from ethnic minorities. When whole populations are judged differently, whole populations are denied having their needs met. This is a #humanrights issue. Those in the UK can view the film on BBC iPlayer: https://lnkd.in/eHR_2btf #blackhistorymonth

Have you seen the viral video on social media about the young Jain child taking diksha? It's sparking quite a debate. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this.

Let's discuss. #Jainism #Diksha #Childhood #Spirituality #Ethics #ParentalInfluence
