Different Color, Same Blood- Conversation with our kids
I know it is not easy to have certain conversations with our kids, especially when it comes to racism and discrimination. There are parents who worry about exposing their children to these issues at an early age. Others don't want to talk about it because they themselves might not fully understand or don’t feel comfortable discussing it.
These types are conversations will be different for everyone. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, the science is clear: the earlier parents start the conversation with their children the better.
Babies notice physical differences, including skin color, from as early as 6 months. Studies have shown that by
age 5, children can show signs of racial bias, such as treating people from one racial group more favorably than the other. Ignoring or avoiding the topic isn’t protecting children, it’s leaving them exposed to bias that exists wherever we live.
