Notes from the Counselor
Tips from the Counselor- Teaching Children about Diversity
Our world is becoming increasingly more diverse. However, even though the world is more diverse, racism and intolerance still exist. Here are some tips for teaching your child about diversity.
Practice what you Preach
Children are more likely to treat others with respect when they see you practicing tolerance and accepting others for who they are.
Discuss Tolerance and Diversity Honestly
Everyone is different! It is important that children accept others for who they are instead of pretending differences don’t exist.
Expose Kids to Diversity-
Have your child participate in activities or playdates with children from diverse backgrounds.
Correct Racial and Cultural Insensitivity
When your child says something that is offensive it is important to correct them and explain why it’s unacceptable to speak negatively about people because they are different.
Help Kids Embrace their Own Culture
When a child accepts who they are and has a positive self esteem, they are less likely to see people who are different as threats.
Read Books & Watch Movies about Diversity and Tolerance
Complete Diversity and Tolerance Activities
For example eating diverse foods, attending events/festivals that celebrate different ethnic groups, and visiting history museumsCheck out Mrs. Nelson's virtual office by clicking on the picture.
