58. Teaching Kids to Appreciate, Not Appropriate with Educator + Community Builder Trevia Woods


Listen Later

Cultural competency is a critical skill for kids growing up in a multicultural society.

 

Virtual learning presents families with unique opportunities to share kids’ learning experiences.

 

On today’s episode, Trevia and I talk about how we teach kids to appreciate, not appropriate cultures other than our own. We’ll talk about:

  • what to do if we discover that our home practices may be problematic
  • how to approach kids’ natural curiosity about others’ holidays
  • designing deeper learning experiences that get at the core of traditions
  • getting rooted in our own cultural lineages...

 

...so we, our kids, and cultures can thrive.
