More Description
As Rad Dad editor Tomas Moniz says in issue 19's first essay, "Parenting has taught me a lot about dealing with things I'd rather not deal with." This is the Rad Dad "heavy topics" issue; its pages are concerned with talking to your kids about topics you might shy away from--important issues like racism, sexism, death, domestic violence, police brutality, and environmental crisis. Rad Dad is, as always, about communication, about not shutting off when your kids need help making sense of the things happening around them. And sometimes that's the hardest part--when you yourself are fighting to make sense of a changing terrain. The psychic landscape this issue navigates can be harrowing but Rad Dad retains the loving, constructive light of positivity and forward motion it has cultivated since issue 1. This is important reading--vital stuff for parents and nonparents alike.
