Summary

A guide to support adults to have conversations with children about racism.

About the guide

Chances are that at some point you’ll need to navigate conversations about race and racism with the children in your life. This is true whether you’re a parent or guardian, a grandparent, an aunt or uncle, an au pair or other caregiver.

To make this easier, as well as more authentic and effective, All Together Now has partnered with the ABC series The School That Tried to End Racism to create this guide for adults having conversations with children about racism.
