Lesson Launcher/Inquiry Questions:
A Q&A session recorded in 1995 representing a cross-section of Canadian society. Topics respectfully discussed include parenting, parent-child relationships, single parenting, LGBTQ parents, teenage parenting and the choice to not have children. Ideal for class discussions, debates or essay topics. Is it true that parents are “living for their children”? The Indigenous woman in the group says, “The Native situation makes me really sad… if I brought a child in this world, what are they going to have left? They’re not going to have land… they’re not going to have clean water.” Has there been any change in the situation for an Indigenous family? Are there stigmas today for single parents, teen parents, LGBTQ parents, others?
