Raising children in a diverse world Our children will spend their adult lives not only in a century different from the one in which we were raised, but also in a different kind of world. With the expansion of trade and the increased speed of communication, our children may deal daily with people from other cultures and countries.
Young children form ideas about themselves and other people long before they start kindergarten.
How to help your child understand differences As your child learns and grows, you can help her develop a positive attitude about differences and diversity. Give your child simple, straightforward answers when she asks questions about differences. As soon as children start to talk, they ask a wide range of questions and make comments about differences. Try to give simple, direct responses when your child asks a question. And yes, his hair is long.
