Denise Louie Education Center

On this day between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the inauguration day of our biracial, Black, South Asian, daughter of immigrant parents Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, we took a moment in our Tuesday Zoom Play & Learn session to reflect upon how hard it is to talk with our kids about racism and how important these discussions are – it is never too early to talk with kids about race.
As early as 3 months, children start to notice race! As they grow, they will draw their own conclusions based on what they see - if caregivers, families, and teachers do not speak up. To learn more and speak up, check out Tolerance.org and Raceconscious.org.
If you have a resource that has helped you talk with children about race, post a comment, and thank you for continuing the conversation.
