Can We Be More Inclusive Parents?
b'Can we become more inclusive as parents? Inclusivity has great benefits for everyone involved. We loved this explanation from Bright Horizons:\\n"Too often, inclusiveness is described as something we\\xa0should\\xa0do to benefit\\xa0others. Being inclusive is more than a moral obligation\\u2014although this alone is enough reason to practice it. When we are inclusive we aren\\u2019t divided. Instead, our world becomes enlarged. We gain relationships and experiences that enrich us. We recognize that we are\\xa0all\\xa0different, and that those differences bring joy to living."\\nIn this episode, we talk about how to get "wider" (more intentionally inclusive) in our family lives and in our communities. and how to bring our kids into that conversation.\\nHere are links to some writing on topic (plus our own episodes) that we refer to in this episode:\\nMelissa Hart for Parents: 5 Ways to Help Children Be More Inclusive of Other Kids\\nBright Horizons: Raising An Inclusive Child\\nwelcomingschools.org\\nweneeddiversebooks.org\\nFresh Take: Judith Warner\\nTalking With Our Kids About Race: Deborah Porter\\nFresh Take: Ellen Kahn \\nFresh Take: Radha Agrawal\\nTwo other podcasts we\'re loving right now: \\nStrollerCoaster: A Parenting Podcast is created by Munchkin, the most beloved baby brand in the world.
