How to Talk to Children About Race

9:00 – 10:00 am on each morning, Two-Day Series
Speaker: Dr. Howard Stevenson
Audience: All Parents
Navigating the stress of racial conflict or conversation is not easy. Given the recent politics of policing in Black and Brown communities has led to societal institutions reforming how they conduct their work to address racial injustice. Additionally, the rise in hate has found itself in schools and educators are overwhelmed as to what to do. This talk will discuss ways parents and students can understand how to manage racial stress in conversations through racial socialization and literacy.
 
Parents will:
  1. learn the definitions of racial stress, socialization, and literacy
  2. learn how racial trauma can undermine health and learning
  3. practice racial story-telling, conversation using racial mindfulness
  4. increase awareness of how thoughts, body reactions, and feelings influence racial decision-making
