Parenting Toward Anti-Racism Continued

In the initial session – “Parenting Toward Anti-Racism” – we explored how parents can support their children in being anti-racist. During this session Dr. Wise is here again to continue our conversation and focus on the inner work that adults must do. Find out how knowledge of US history since the 16 hundreds, understanding of the language used when talking about race , and becoming an ally to those who are working for change and justice are keys to the inner work adults must do for themselves and their children. Recognizing our own implicit or explicit biases is a large step in supporting our children. Dr. Wise shares her knowledge, expertise, and resources on this topic with participants.

Parenting Toward Anti-Racism

So many of you have asked, “How do we talk to our children about the social unrest in America? How do we support them as we navigate our way through so many feelings and questions? How and when do we talk to our children about race? Dr.Val Wise along with our other panelists begin to answer those questions and more. Research shows that infants as young as 3 months old have biases. In the beginning these inbred biases were there to protect the tiny human from harm. As children grow they are exposed to other peoples ideas and values which add to the list of biases that children have. Dr. Wise shares her knowledge, expertise, and resources on this topic with participants.
