[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is bad parenting to talk to young kids about this at all. [/quote] What?! I don’t know if I’m going to tell my 3 year old that a cop killed a man, but we are working hard to give her a foundation of exposure to a diverse set of friends, teachers, etc. We’re hoping it’ll help instill in her a sense that seeing POC in all sorts of jobs/roles is a normal thing. When she’s a bit older, we will talk to her about racism. Right now we’re trying to build a foundation. [/quote] This. Exactly this. You don't need to give your kids the gory details on what happened, but you should start talking about diversity and oppression. My first grader learned about segregation and slavery, my 4 year old has books that talk about people with different skin colors. And we live in a diverse area, are a multi-cultural family, and have a diverse group of friends.[/quote]
