Education
2020 has brought innumerable new challenges to families with school-aged children. Parents are not only dealing with keeping their families safe from COVID-19, they are also transitioning to working and schooling from their homes. All the while, they are also navigating the difficult conversations related to the social uprisings in response to the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.This episode, we take that challenge head on, providing resources for parents to understand the impact of racial injustice on children, have age-appropriate conversations with their kids, and discuss the issue of injustice with their own parents.Links from the episode:AAP statement on racismChildren can distinguish the phenotypic differences associated with race during infancy.Parenting Forward Podcast: The ABC’s of Diversity w/ Carolyn Helsel & Joy Harris-SmithRaising White Kids by Jennifer HarveyYour Kids Aren't Too Young to Talk About Race: Resource RoundupHow White Parents Can Talk To Their Kids About RaceBlack History FlashcardsLife Kit Podcast with Ijeoma OluoSo You Want To Talk About Race by Ijeoma OluoSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/forfolxsake)
