Talking about racial injustice with young children
Resources for caregivers on how to talk with young kids about racism, fairness, and grief.
On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was killed by police in Minneapolis. This came on the heels of the murders of Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery.
Children — even very young children — notice what's happening around them. Silence does not protect them from racism; it just means they learn about it without us.
We compiled a short list of books, conversation starters, and resources for caregivers who want to talk with their kids about race, fairness, and community responsibility.
