Learn the language of diversity and raise kids who respect differences and honor similarities. The ABCs of Diversity equips parents, teachers, and community leaders to have intergenerational and intercultural conversations about the differences between us. In addition to discussions of race, intercultural dialogue involves understanding our differences related to political affiliation, gender, class, religion, ability, nationality, and sexual orientation. This book helps parents and teachers of children, youth, and young adults navigate conversations about differences so they can raise up individuals committed to respectful civic engagement. Such intercultural dialogues can support communities as they work for the mutual well-being of all. This book includes specific resources and activities for persons of various ages that parents and community leaders can employ to encourage compassion and empathy. An ideal resource for teachers, parents, ministry personnel, non-profit leaders, human resources directors, and librarians.

Words from the authors:
“We want our kids to live long, healthy, and happy lives, and for
us that means that they are able to be in good relationships with
persons from different backgrounds whose different life experiences can greatly enhance our own kids’ knowledge and understanding of the world. We want them to be kind and to learn to live with people who are different from themselves, because that is our world now, and we want them to thrive in it.”
