Kids and Racism
These conversations must be had. They can be tricky as we always want to say the “right” thing but by being silent so that we don’t say the “wrong” thing…we are part of the problem. I’m writing this blog, not to tell anyone what to do or say but to share some great and helpful resources I have found. History and present-day prove that we can and must be better. Our little ones look to us as examples and I've found that when we are able to speak about topics openly, so many great questions and conversations come to light. We've found the topic of race to be no different.
I’ve been reading a number of great articles on kids and racism and I will share them below. They are well worth the read and provide both great content and great reading suggestions. Reading is a really popular time in our household and I’m looking to purchase a number of these recommendations for my little ones. Author Christine Taylor-Butler notes to “provide 20 joyful books for every one book about racism. [Kids] need to know POC kids are like every other kid.”
Here we go!

Parent Toolkit:
This is a great article that dives into talking about race, setting examples, helping kids navigate their curiosity, making the topic relatable, being open about mistakes and being an advocate.

I hope these have been of interest. We’d love to hear from you and what you are reading with your little ones, how you are approaching this topic with your littles ones … and how you are doing in general.
