How do I talk about race with children in the Early Years setting?

[Jules]

One of our new articles for October, by Liz Pemberton,  asks us to think about how we talk about race with young children. Are we prepared for their curiosity? Are we educating ourselves and doing the anti-racist work ourselves so that we can be prepared?  Are we ready to keep learning and growing from our own mistakes? 

The article has links to Liz's course, and recommendations of books to read.

I found this article so powerful (especially after listening to Liz's FSF podcast recently).  Both have triggered a lot of self-reflection and made me realise that there is so much more for me to learn, and so many more changes that need to be made.

 

I'd love to hear and read more of Liz's thoughts in the future.
