We understand that can be challenging for parents to explain what is happening in the world. But by discussing these complex concepts with kids, you can positively impact their growth and development. Even at a young age, children can learn about kindness and compassion. Instead of being silent or using a \u201ccolorblind\u201d argument, it\u2019s important to explain why a child of a different skin color may be treated differently or bullied. Without this explanation, children might infer that the social inequities they see are natural or justified.
