How to Teach Kids to Connect with Older People (DEI Parent Guidebooks)

by Trish Allison

Overview

All books in the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Parent Guidebooks series are written for parents (and caregivers) of elementary school kids. This particular guidebook focuses on the value of older people by providing instructions for parents to teach kids how to connect with them successfully. Whether it's a grandparent, a neighbor, or a family friend, all children can benefit from a positive relationship with an older person. 

 

This guidebook provides step-by-step instructions and practical ideas for:  

• Subtly learning what your child already knows about older people
• Explaining the basics of the aging process
• Encouraging a relationship with an older person
• Suggesting the right questions for kids to ask older people 
• Cultivating respect for older people at home

Please note: New children's books and (many) school curriculums about diversity and inclusion are appearing daily, which is fantastic news! But there's a gap that needs filling. To help kids really absorb the values they're learning, parents (and caregivers) need practical ideas and instructions for incorporating those values into daily life at home.

About the Author

Raising two children in a non-traditional family gives Trish a unique perspective on the importance of teaching kids that everyone deserves kindness and respect. 

She combined her experience as a parent, her career as a technical writer, countless hours of child psychology research, a degree in English from U.C. Berkeley, and a long-ignored passion to write something meaningful -- into a collection of DEI parenting guidebooks. 

The goal of the guidebooks is not to brainwash children into a 'socialist' way of thinking, but to simply, honestly, and at an appropriate age-level, discuss and respond to children's curiosity about contemporary cultural issues.
