“ ”
There is a distance between being polite and being right. It’s time to be unapologetically impatient in our pursuit of justice.
— Dr. Christina Cipriano
What Changed?
The book became a bridge between scholarship and real-world change. Christina translated complex research on learning, development, and social emotional skills into usable language and tools that families, educators, and leaders can apply in everyday interactions. Instead of waiting for systems to improve, the book gives readers a framework to interrupt “the way things are” and advocate effectively, without burning the relationship to the ground.
