Just wrapped on Raising White Kids by Jennifer Harvey. A few takeaways:
⬛️ A deeper understanding of why “colorblindness” and “not seeing color” is damaging.
⬛️ Potential ways that children will try to process racial differences if they aren’t discussed.
⬛️ Thoughtful responses to uncomfortable questions or statements from children about race and racism.
⬛️ Ideas on discussing racism with children without using the word “racism.”
⬛️ Ideas on discussing white privilege with children without white-shaming.
⬛️ Encouragement to educate children on American leaders and figures of all races who did great, positive things but are not often, if at all, discussed in the school system.
I recommend it. If you’ve read it- let’s talk about it!
