It's important to talk to kids about race. While race may seem like something that kids are too young to talk about, studies show that kids as young as two use race to explain people's behaviors, and by 30 months they use it to choose who they play with. Having open and honest conversations with your kids can decrease their prejudice, make them less likely to internalize racism, and equip them with strategies to deal with experiences of discrimination.

Swipe through for helpful ideas and resources on how to talk to kids about race and racism.
