How Babies and Toddlers Understand Race

with Dr. Alison Briscoe-Smith, Child Clinical Psychologist

I really enjoyed this and found the discussion helpful in increasing comfort discussing race with my child.

Establish these values early; excellent idea 💡

Love this! Love how she broke it down for us.

Excellent advice for parents wondering how to navigate conversations around race with young children. Easy to understand, digestible, speaker is very informative and easy to listen to. I highly recommend this class!!!

In the description of one of the video clips the word “suburb” is used. When you listen to the video the presenter uses the phase “white neighborhood.”  I can’t emphasize enough how words matter and how this mistake in labeling the video needs to be corrected. Without realizing it TinyHood has engaged in biased language use.  The suburbs are NOT synonymous with white neighborhoods (despite redlining).

Great topic choice and presenter. This could be a challenging topic to discuss but the content was  presented in a way that was open and inviting while providing practical tools.

Loved the information, the suggestions, and Q&A!!!

Thought the class was very helpful, engaging, and informative! Am looking forward to taking other Tinyhood classes!
