ADULTISM: THE HIDDEN TOXIN POISONING OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH CHILDREN

Teresa Graham Brett, JD, lives her passion for creating social change by combining her work in social justice education with parenting. As a professional, she has spent over 20 years working in and with universities and colleges as an educator, leader, administrator and consultant committed to advancing social change and social justice. After graduating from law school, she decided not to practice law. Instead, she opted to serve the cause of social change and justice through her work at three large public universities across the country. She worked with innovative programs designed to create transformative learning for students, staff and faculty. As a consultant she continues to bring her expertise and passion to clients interested in transformative learning, social change and social justice.

Her own life was transformed after the births of Martel and Greyson, who have challenged her to live the values of liberation, freedom and respect as a parent. She discovered the ways in which she did not live in congruence with her professional values in her role as a parent. Using her experience in facilitating social justice learning, she began her own learning journey toward creating respectful relationships with the children who share her life. This personal journey and her challenge to others to create broader social change by transforming how we view and treat children is chronicled in her writing, both on her website and in her book, Parenting for Social Change. You can find her at www.ParentingforSocialChange.com, twitter @TGbrett, or friend her on Facebook, Teresa Graham Brett.

Teresa challenges her audiences and readers in the following manner:  ”If we are to create broader social change, create a world where justice is a fundamental value, we must challenge ourselves to unlearn the adultism we were subject to as children and internalized as adults. We must challenge ourselves to question our own authority and power, not just the power and authority of big corporations or corrupt governments”
