In this episode, Julie Silverbrook, chief content and learning officer at the National Constitution Center, and Civic Parenting co-host Lindsey Cormack, discuss how families can make civic learning part of everyday life, learning together with curiosity and humility, while helping children build civic know-how, ask questions, engage with different perspectives, and participate in their communities. They discuss Cormack’s book, How to Raise a Citizen (And why it’s up to you to do it), and the role parents and caregivers can play in raising the next generation of informed and engaged citizens.
