Civic Parenting
Raising engaged citizens does not happen in schools alone. It starts at home. Civic Parenting explores how families can build the habits of self-government that keep our constitutional democracy strong.
New Podcast Series
What does it mean to raise citizens in a constitutional democracy?
Civic Parenting is a special 10-episode series hosted by Julie Silverbrook, chief content and learning officer of the National Constitution Center, joined by Lindsay Cormack, author of How to Raise a Citizen, and Sarah Vacchiano of CivicEQ.
Each episode explores how those habits take shape in real life. From reading and storytelling to navigating disagreement, from family routines to community experiences, the series offers practical ways to connect everyday moments to the enduring principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. This is a series for parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone who believes that the work of citizenship begins at home.
New episodes of Civic Parenting will be available soon wherever you get your podcasts. Join a national conversation about how we raise the next generation of citizens.
