Of course, there are more than 5 ways, and not every approach is a good fit for every family, but this is a great place to start. In fact, please be sure to share your best advice in the comment section below, we’d love to see your innovative, fun and effective strategies.

Before we jump into the list, I have to give a HUGE shout-out to my new favorite author, James Victore. The “Racism” art pictured above is his original design. James is offering this poster (and another awesome poster) FREE on his website here. Now, onto the list!

1. Take an honest look at the media your little humans consume.
2. Consider providing culturally diverse toys.
3. Plan family activities that include a rich variety of cultures.
4. When children are old enough to ask insightful questions, be honest with them.
5. Children learn a lot from their parents, even when we don’t say a word. Although not intended, parents can communicate bias without even realizing it.
