Lovely introduction to fostering positive dialogue about skin color with young children.
This is a comprehensive course presented out of compassion for all children. Katie calls to the best in adults by appealing to their love for children, their own and those of our nation, as the impetus for self-reflection around our skin color and identity and those of others. In this way, we can answer children's questions honestly and in ways that consider and support all the diverse groups in our midst. She especially focuses on doing this with the youngest group of children who are most impressionable and most influenced by our attitudes and postures. She gives so many examples of ways to help children feel safe and affirmed in their skin color and identity and she provides activities and a plethora of resources for families and teachers to continue this most important work.
So many useful ideas shared during this short course. Thank you!
very practical and applicable
