Needham Community Education

Research shows that racial bias begins to develop in children as young as three years old. Fortunately, parents can disrupt the development of racial bias by talking intentionally with their children about race, racism, and difference. This program, led by Ellie Axe, Director of Story Starters, will provide participants with an overview of the research on race and kids, and will teach parents practical ways to start having conversations about race and racism with their children. Participants will leave with concrete actions they can take in their own home that will help to prepare children to navigate our diverse world.
