Ask them to tell your children how they celebrate their traditions. The more cultural diversity your children experience, the greater the potential for respect for others. Familiarity and contact nurture increased tolerance and acceptance. By exposing your children to the diversity in our culture, you help them recognize the rainbow of humanity that makes up our world. At the same time, you have the opportunity to show your children that all people are more alike than they are different.
All people share emotions of joy and experience hurt.
Help your children understand how much their words can hurt others. Ask how they feel when they experience hurtful words. Ask them to talk to others in the way they would like to be spoken to. Look for the beauty of our world. We are a visual culture.
