Differences explained by 4 year olds
For all of us out there who worry and stress about teaching diversity and acceptance in our classrooms, I have to share this over heard conversation. My kiddos had just returned from the playground and were at the sink washing hands…
Child 1 : looks at waiting peer as she washes her hands ” I’m dark. What color are you?”
Child 2: glances at her skin, then at peers skin, moves to begin hand washing and says “I’m the true color”
Child 1: “ok” hops away to go play.
And there you have it, as long as you are my friend does it even matter?
