How do we start conversations with our children about differences that they notice between themselves and other people? This program will help adults navigate these conversations.
Our world - our country, our state, our neighborhoods and even our families--is becoming more diverse, integrated, and interconnected than it ever has been. Kids notice, and they will look to the adults in their lives for guidance. (When was the last time that a child asked you in their best outdoor voice: “Why does that person look like that?”) Whether the differences are regarding skin color, body size, values, culture, religion, lifestyle or even fashion, understanding how to navigate differences is important. Being able to respect and accept differences is a skill that children will use at home, in social settings and at school. This foundation will last their entire lives.
