Wish We Knew What to Say: Talking with Children About Race

Wondering how to talk about race with children? Dr Pragya Agarwal’s 2020 book “Wish We Knew What to Say: Talking with Children About Race” is a great resource for parents, grandparents, teachers… anyone with a young person in their life.

Helping your children thrive and flourish in a diverse, multi-cultural world requires supporting them to make sense of the confusing and emotionally charged messages they receive about themselves and others. Children are curious about the world around them, but are also quick to form stereotypes and biases that can become deeply ingrained as they grow older. Wish We Knew What to Say is a practical and informative read, with lots of easy to follow advice, targeted for children of all age groups.

Available here as a book and also as a podcast.
