Talking with kids about racism

It can be hard to talk with kids about racism. But we know that by preschool age, many kids have already learned racial bias. It’s so important to start talking with kids about race and racism early and often, even if we do so imperfectly.

If you want some help figuring out where to start or how to continue to engage with your kids about race, check out these two videos. The first is from Dr. Kira Banks and a panel of parents with varying perspectives and helpful tools for engaging in conversations about race with kids. And the second is a Sesame Street town hall Q&A both kids and adults can enjoy and learn from.
