Children are born free of prejudice, but they notice differences and internalize stereotypic biases at a younger age than most people think. We have all grown up in a society full of biases. We receive subtle and not so subtle messages throughout our lives and have absorbed images and viewpoints of which we are often not even fully aware. This workshop helps parents examine their own points of view, their language and their behaviors, as part of the effort to help their children resist prejudice. Additionally the workshop helps parents respond to children’s observations of difference in ways that positively influence their attitudes and avoid stereotyping and prejudice.
