Is it your goal to raise children who respect and celebrate differences? Do you want to teach your child about the world around them, but don't know where to start? Culturally Competent Kids provides a framework to help you raise children to become adults who respect and celebrate differences, rather than simply tolerating them.
Research shows that biases begin to develop at age 6, but their origins begin much earlier. This book helps you take an active role in helping your children see, understand, and develop their understanding of people and cultures that are different. You'll learn to:
- Understand the impact of culture on child development
- Recognize and address your own implicit biases
- Create an inclusive and equitable home environment
- Encourage empathy and respect for others
This book is for parents, educators, and caregivers who want to move beyond tolerance and raise children who thrive in a diverse world. As Dr. Sweeney says, "We don't have to all be friends, or even like each other, to treat each other with respect." Get ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, and equip your children with the tools they need to navigate an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
