For our final Diversity is Not Divisive Resource, we are sharing our framework for Fostering Healthy Identity in Young Children: Affirming Race, Ethnicity, and Culture in the Early Years. We developed this framework to support early childhood educators, parents, caregivers, and advocates in fostering healthy racial, ethnic, and cultural identity in young children.
We encourage you to use this framework to incorporate guiding questions into daily interactions, model affirming language and behaviors, build empathy and understanding with the scenarios, integrate resources into your curriculum, and create inclusive spaces with visual and material representation
