Talking to Your Children About Race
We at Great Explorations Children’s Museum are saddened by the injustice happening in our country. We recognize that race and social injustice can be difficult topics to discuss with young children, so we created a list of age-appropriate resources that may be helpful when talking about these topics at home. We whole-heartedly believe in the importance of these conversations as we raise the future generation. Great Explorations remains proud to be the place where all families can learn and play.
