Together, We’ll Navigate New Worlds: Children, Culture and Empathic Curiosity

Thursday, May 19, 6:30-7:30 pm

Many parents want their children to learn and grow in a multicultural world, respecting the practices of other families, and discovering the beautiful elements in a racial and ethnically diverse society. However, parents often struggle with knowing where to start and how best to foster a child’s culturally humble mind, unsure of how to help them navigate a world that is growing increasingly complex–with behaviors, ideas, and reactions unfamiliar to many. Learn ways in which parents can monitor their own reactions while they engage their child’s cultural curiosities in a manner that is dynamic, fluid, and brings them into closer real relationships with the peers in their midst. Presented by Joseph Barron, Ph.D., The Children’s Program.
