## Resource

With news about ICE, immigration raids, and family separation everywhere, many parents are wondering how to talk to kids about everything going on. How do we share harsh realities without overwhelming them, while still being honest? Host Elise Hu speaks with Maria Hinojosa, founder of Futuro Media and longtime host of Latino USA about her decades of learnings from reporting on immigration and family separations. Maria opens up about her own experience growing up in an immigrant family, and shares reflections on today’s political climate as immigration has risen as a focus topic election after election. Later in the episode, journalist and author Anya Kamenetz joins to offer practical tools for parents navigating these newscycles and conversations with kids. Anya shares what she’s seen as a journalist and in her communities as a parent, and offers practical strategies for helping children process fear while staying emotionally secure together.
