How do we start conversations with our chi ldren about differences that they notice between themselves and other peop le? Our world - our country\, our state\, our neighborhoods and even our f amilies--is becoming more diverse\, integrated\, and interconnected than i t ever has been. Kids notice\, and they will look to the adults in their l ives for guidance. (When was the last time that a child asked you in their best outdoor voice: &ldquo\;Why does that person look like that?&rdquo\;) Whether the differences are regarding skin color\, body size\, values\, c ulture\, religion\, lifestyle or even fashion\, understanding how to navig ate differences is important. Being able to respect and accept differences is a skill that children will use at home\, in social settings and at sch ool. This foundation will last their entire lives.
