Experts share their advice for teaching kids to fight systemic racism, now and at all times.
“Society views Black kids differently,” Austin said. “One of the last things George Floyd said was ‘Mama’ ― he cried out for his mom. As a Black mother, that’s heartbreaking. Although she has passed, I’m sure his mom did the best she could to protect him.”In order to get comfortable navigating the issues of racism and police brutality with kids, parents need to educate themselves and spend time thinking and talking about these matters themselves.
“We can’t take action in this huge structural way without first educating ourselves on what we don’t know,” said Feris. “Read books, go online, gather data, connect with people in your neighborhood or a different area, find organizations doing good things.” “In the world we live in, our kids are or will be exposed to racism in some form ― whether your kids are watching the news and hearing about the racial injustices, seeing it firsthand in social situations, or worse, being the victim of racism if your kids are kids of color,” said, a physician and children’s book author. “We need to teach our kids how to react, respond, and rise above it.
“Having open communication allows you to be seen as a trusted and safe resource for information,” Hollier said. “This allows for more open communication, which in turn makes it more likely for your child to come to you rather than coming to conclusions alone or receiving perhaps less empathetic information from someone else.”
