- Synopsis
- Have you ever seen parents struggling with questions about how to raise their children in this diverse world we live in? Have you ever wanted to bring up a potentially sensitive issue with a parent or have a conversation--but weren't sure how to begin? Have you ever wanted to learn more about a parent's ideas about child rearing? As the people of the United States and especially California grow more and more diverse-- racially, culturally and linguistically--there has never been a better opportunity for us to learn to live respectfully together and benefit from the wisdom and experiences of one another. But sometimes fear, uncertainty or discomfort prevent us--parents and the people who devote their professional lives to supporting families--from talking to each other. This is especially true when it comes to race and racism, cultural differences, language and bilingualism, and the myriad questions that arise in a world where these issues have such a powerful place in children's lives. But we can and must learn to have these conversations and take action together. If we do, we can change the future for future generations of children.
