Help - how do I teach my kid not to be racist?

Curious kids will ask questions about people who look or sound different to them. How do you talk to them about racism and inclusion? What if your child uses a racist slur? And how can you encourage them to be an ally?  Ali Kadri, CEO of the Islamic College of Brisbane and host of The Swap, joins Maggie Dent to talk frankly about racism and encouraging children to learn about and embrace people's differences.  The advice provided in this podcast is general in nature and does not take into account your personal situation. If you require further advice specific to your needs, please consult a professional.  Host: Maggie Dent  Producer: Josie Sargent  Consulting Producer: Carmen Myler  Executive Producer: Kim Lester  Sound design: Isabella Tropiano
