@megd_taylor Black History Month table setup for Cal. 🖤 Yes, I talk about race with my 2-year old. Naturally, he notices when people look differently than him, and I want to embrace those differences with him. He picked beans that look like his skin, and we talked about how he knows people who have a rainbow of skin colors. In case you want to start a conversation about race with your toddler, here is what we focus on: 1. Reading books about people of different races to share history and their accomplishments. 2. Talking about opposites: same and different as well as what "fair" means. 3. Encouraging questioning. Sometimes Calvin will ask questions in public about people he sees. I get down to his level and answer his questions right away. As a white mom with a white son, I am always looking for suggestions - see something you don't like or I can do better?Please tell me. We will keep working to be the best allies to the black community that we can.
