Season 3 Episode 1: 'Raising Inclusive Children' with Dianne Haulcy
Welcome to a new season of Parenting Pickup!
Today's episode features Dianne Haulcy, the host of Minnesota Public Radio's Early Riser's podcast, and CEO of The Family Partnership, a non-profit organization that provides holistic structures and resources for families and children within cycles of poverty. Dianne explores ways in which early childhood is an essential period of life to educate our young ones about racism, bias, culture, diversity and inclusion. We go over:
- Overview of the Early Risers podcast
- Environmental conditioning
- Educating ourselves, and identifying our own implicit bias through things like body language
- What families can do at home to ensure their children grow up to be more welcoming and inclusive
- Understanding why "color blindness" is not a good method of cultural appreciation
- How to have and promote conversations with young children about race
- Resources for families wanting to promote an anti-racist education
