"We can’t hide our children from the world. Your child is probably already more aware of race, class, and gender differences than you realize. This can be a time to teach your child about social justice, while also helping process how painful these events can be for them, and for you. Talking about race in America can be scary. People don’t want to be seen as a racist or someone trying to start a conflict. But the less prepared we are to think about race and talk about race, the scarier those conversations are when they occur.  And children need tools for how to feel and speak about these issues. " -Howard Stevenson, a clinical psychologist at Penn GSE, studies racial literacy and racial trauma.
