I JUST did an activity with our preschool homeschool curriculum (Hands on Homeschooling) about how we should love everyone, no matter what they look like, because God made us all. I showed them a picture of children around the world. We looked at the differences. The main thing my almost 4 year old twins noticed was the hair color differences, and whether they were boys or girls. We talked about how all our hair/eye colors are different in our own family. Then, we did a hands on activity where we took different colored knee highs and put them on our arms. I pointed out how we were the same person, just a different color. It was a very simple lesson that they really understood. They also loved wearing the knee highs!

Their preschool teacher broke her foot and has a cast, so we've explained about different injuries and physical disabilities people can have. Also, some of the books we read together and shows we watch together show a lot of diversity and gives us a chance to talk about differences in our home rather than having them point and ask questions in public.Rustie D.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459178608294921310.post-82329380453020175652013-10-06T16:35:20.008-05:002013-10-06T16:35:20.008-05:00my name is kisha allen (forgot to add to last post...my name is kisha allen (forgot to add to last post) orange0487https://www.blogger.com/profile/04061148636106436423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459178608294921310.post-45281004609833259232013-10-06T16:34:10.706-05:002013-10-06T16:34:10.706-05:00we talk about how people look different (from skin...we talk about how people look different (from skin tones to height) even in our own family. orange0487https://www.blogger.com/profile/04061148636106436423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459178608294921310.post-1585413943918259132013-10-06T08:34:36.451-05:002013-10-06T08:34:36.451-05:00By taking them on vacation with us.

I had to explain that they were the ones that talked funny, not the other kids. Tickets are inexpensive now because no one has the money to travel. Amusement parks in other countries are free for age 4 and under.Emihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17928381603385856463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459178608294921310.post-9928692936248915682013-10-05T22:47:16.084-05:002013-10-05T22:47:16.084-05:00I try to teach my son that we are all different ba...I try to teach my son that we are all different based upon God's principles. ;) I would love to add this book to my collection.Christy Garrett @ Uplifting Familieshttp://upliftingfamilies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459178608294921310.post-65716007641728417692013-10-05T21:27:02.217-05:002013-10-05T21:27:02.217-05:00I've helped my kids learn about other children...I've helped my kids learn about other children that are different from them by attending different cultural events, spending time volunteering with refugee children, and we also have a few special needs family members and read books about together about differences and uniqueness.Nicole Lancasternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459178608294921310.post-40018198665944974542013-10-05T19:35:55.189-05:002013-10-05T19:35:55.189-05:00We send the kids' to schools/daycares that are...We send the kids' to schools/daycares that are multi-cultural, we attend cultural events whenever we can, and we make sure they know and include our entire family which includes several races, a few different disabilities and even a different language. aatwell2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09835629494846927705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459178608294921310.post-26613955516185618222013-10-05T15:36:06.144-05:002013-10-05T15:36:06.144-05:00We use lots of books.

We may have the same hair color, but our eyes are different colors. We may all be able to walk, but maybe someone needs braces on their legs. I think that starting "close to home" and then branching out helps children to see that even those across the world from us or those who lived centuries ago are really not so different--because every one of us is special and unique.Sarah Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07864351891597783739noreply@blogger.com
