There is no one ‘right way’ to talk to children about race. Mistakes are bound to be made and this needs to be an ongoing conversation; not a one-time discussion. Parents need to initiate conversations about race to help teach them to be more sensitive to the many ways people of color are treated unfairly.
Helps kids understand that when they follow others who do not treat others with respect and empathy, they are doing the wrong thing. Teach children that it is the always right to speak up when they see people of color being treated unfairly.
