What Causes Violence and Extremism in Children, and What Parents Can Do to Help
Violence and extremism in children can result from exposure to harmful ideologies, adverse childhood experiences, and a lack of positive role models. Parents can help prevent and address these issues through open communication, promoting empathy and tolerance, and monitoring online and social interactions.
Helping People Addicted to an Extreme Ideology
Our book, "Addictive Ideologies," prompts numerous letters from individuals concerned about their loved ones who are showing signs of ideological entrenchment, such as withdrawal, increased anger, resentment, and association with problematic friends, leading them to inquire about effective measures to counteract the damaging effects of such frameworks.
Raising Children With Agency
Unlocking agency means embracing the power to shape your destiny, a skill we learn through life. This dynamic trait is molded not just by our choices but by how our parents shape our self-belief, internal scripts, and worldview. As parents, our mission is to nurture children who are socially savvy, emotionally resilient, and fearless in their pursuit of excellence.
