Week 4: Encourage and Find
Encourage schools and churches to teach racial reconciliation. Urban public school systems deal with diversity, and some have provided sensitivity training for teachers. For small towns, or private schools it may be a tougher subject to deal with. You may be surprised with how influential you can be as a parent. Take your concerns and racial sensitivity questions and go to a School Board Mtg and be heard.
Find multi-ethnic media. Public libraries and school usually offer many international and multicultural books. They will have material and picture books available for all ages of a developing child. Take your child to the bookstore or library and choose some books themselves. They will be excited to read them with you if they have experience a sense of ownership in choosing their entertainment material.
