Olivia Higgins, founder of Queerly Elementary, and other parents have 11 tips to help families navigate the process of attending a protest. If a child hears, "we must fight against this injustice," they may think that they are preparing for a physical fight. Help your children think of appropriate slogans and consider making signs with slogans to which children can relate. Encourage your child to design his own sign to feel more involved and create excitement about attending the protest. By bringing your children to a protest you are helping to shape them into involved, concerned, civic-minded citizens.
