The Family Couch
In this episode of The Family Couch, we talk with Jaynay Johnson, a Marriage and Family Therapist in Philadelphia, who is the author of Dear Teen Self about how parents can communicate with their teenagers. With regard to parents of color, we discuss that they may feel that because of how their race is seen in the world, they don’t want their child to fall into the stereotype. For this reason, they may push their kids to a specific school or idea so they don’t experience the pitfalls of a certain racial identity.
