Yes, your kid can change the world. Here's how

Climate change, racism, poverty and gun violence have affected our kids' daily lives, often inspiring them to fight for change. But kids need to understand the power of historically effective approaches to activism, expert Gal Beckerman says.

Aspiring Thunbergs and Yousafzais tend to be drawn to online activism and social media, the destination for many young people curious about causes and eager to express themselves. It can be a great way to spark interest, but it's not always the best way to effect real change. For that to happen, kids need to understand the power of quieter, slower and historically effective approaches to activism, says Gal Beckerman -- those that tend to take place off of social media.
