Upbringing Towards Diversity
by Nkechi Madubuko
Description
Everyday life has long since become multicultural, with children coming into contact with different family models, religions, skin colours, and languages through their peers. But even among kindergarten and elementary school children, this diversity does not necessarily mean that all are perceived and treated 'equally'.
With this book, the diversity expert Nkechi Madubuko shows parents ways in which they can raise their children to be free of prejudice and sensitise them to diversity. Parents create the environment that forms their children's perceptions of others and their receptiveness to differences – in thought, in language, and in action. With case studies and practical tips, this practical guidebook will help parents counter exclusion, everyday racism, and discrimination in their children.
• Contemporary theme with social relevance
• Practical tips for a diversity-sensitive and antiracist child-raising
• With many situational examples from family, school, and childcare
