Extended Influences
Sideboards
The sideboards are the wooden walls that hold the wagon's contents in place. In the framework they are the wider influences pressing in on the child. Culture, language, religion, neighborhood, peer group, the screens in the child's hand, the assumptions of the school. Pieces in this part address the influences that shape a child outside the home and the advocate's role in interpreting them. They include cultural humility for a caregiver raising a child whose culture is not theirs, the practice of media and screen-time work without panic, the role of community and faith in a child's healing, and the recognition that a child's identity is built between the home and everything outside it. Forms that fit this part include `LENS`, `POLICY`, `OPINION`, `STAGE_GUIDE`, and `STRATEGY_PRACTICE`. The journey vocabulary includes: the wider room, what the world is teaching, the influences the child rides with.
