089: Teaching children about issues related to race

In this episode we continue our series on the intersection of race and parenting, which we started with https://yourparentingmojo.com/whiteprivilege/ (Dr. Margaret Hagerman on the topic of White privilege in parenting); then we covered https://yourparentingmojo.com/schoolprivilege/ (white privilege in schools with Dr. Allison Roda) and https://yourparentingmojo.com/talkingaboutrace/ (what parents can do to overcome structural racism as well as talk with their children about race with Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum). Today we’re continuing the series by learning from Dr. John Bickford about how to actually have a conversation with our child on a topic as complex and difficult as slavery or the Civil Rights Movement, using both primary sources and children’s ‘trade’ books. During the episode you’ll hear Dr. Bickford and I hatch an idea to develop a resource guide for parents on exactly what sources and books to use to make sure you’re discussing the right issues within these topics: download the guide below! https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fyourparentingmojo.com%2Fteachingrace%2Fandlinkname=089%3A%20Teaching%20children%20about%20issues%20related%20to%20race ()https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fyourparentingmojo.com%2Fteachingrace%2Fandlinkname=089%3A%20Teaching%20children%20about%20issues%20related%20to%20race ()https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/pinterest?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fyourparentingmojo.com%2Fteachingrace%2Fandlinkname=089%3A%20Teaching%20children%20about%20issues%20related%20to%20race ()https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fyourparentingmojo.com%2Fteachingrace%2Fandlinkname=089%3A%20Teaching%20children%20about%20issues%20related%20to%20race ()

Join her on her journey to get a Masters in Psychology focusing on Child Development, as she researches topics of interest to parents of toddlers and preschoolers from all angles, and suggests tools parents can use to help kids thrive - and make their own lives a bit easier in the process.
