Young Hearts and Open Minds Understanding Diversity
Manage episode 431347910 series 2979288
When should we start talking to our kids about tough topics like racism and discrimination? In this episode, I reflect on a poignant question raised during a recent podium event on empowerment and parenting. With my 22-month-old already noticing and naming different skin tones, it’s clear that children are never too young to start learning about diversity. Through a personal story, I explore how early and honest conversations can help shape open-minded and empathetic young minds.
Join me, Otako, as I share my insights as both a parent and an educator on the critical role we play in our children's understanding of the world. By addressing their natural curiosity with straightforward discussions, we equip them to navigate and appreciate a diverse world. Tune in to hear how fostering an environment of openness and understanding from a young age can empower our children to become more inclusive and aware individuals.
