What to say\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

(This is a suggestion. Please use the above links for further reference and always take your child\u2019s level of understanding into consideration.):<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPeople have different skin colors based on the amount of melanin in their skin. Melanin is a pigment that gives skin its color. Those with more melanin have darker skin and those with less have lighter skin. Humans are often divided into groups based on their skin color or the amount of melanin that they have. Some of these groups, also known as racial categories, are black and white. Talking about race or someone\u2019s skin color is not a bad thing, but it is harmful to treat someone different because of it.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Discussion Questions:<\/span><\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. What color would you describe your skin? Possible words: honey, cream, chocolate<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Use a book that features diverse characters and describe the skin colors you find.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Are any of the characters treated differently because of their race or skin color? Have you seen anyone treated differently because of how they look?<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. If one of your friends states they don\u2019t want to play with another friend because they have black skin, what are some things you could say or do?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
