Talking to Children about Race: Growing Our Understanding

Join the Community Coalition on Race with Moderator: Dr. Diane Hughes, Ph.D. Prof. Applied Psychology, NYU for the workshop: Talking to Children about Race. Children have very complex understandings of differences and stereotypes, and racial attitudes begin to develop at a very young age. As early as six months, babies begin to sort out differences in skin color. They can develop racial biases as early as three years old, despite the attitudes of the adults in their lives.  How racial dynamics in families shape adolescents  The importance of race-conscious literature  Best practices in raising raceconscious children Tuesday, March 20th 7:00 pm Montrose Early Childhood Learning Center 356 Clark St., South Orange
