Diverse December
Social Emotional Learning Team
Why is Diversity important?
December is all about diversity, as our world becomes more diverse, so do the lives of our children. An important social skill for your children to learn is acceptance and valuing people who are different than them. We have a chance to help children grow their emotional intelligence skills by informing and having a conversation of the value of diversity and inclusion. Here are some tips and tools to help your family create a culture of acceptance.
When do children recognize differences?
Children can recognize differences starting at a very young age. The best time to start teaching kids about diversity is when they start to recognize it. Teaching acceptance and understanding at a young age can help them grow into equity warriors and upstanding world citizens.
