Summary
On today's episode of The Living Easy Podcast with Lindsey Maestas, Lindsey talks with her friend, Jehava Brown, about how to talk with young children about racism.
It's easy for us to say, "I will talk with my children once they get a bit older", but statistics show that children begin to see racial differences as young as toddler age, so they're acknowledging these differences before we have a chance to talk about them.
Jehava shares practical ways to have these conversations while pointing children back to the Gospel. She also discusses what her conversations with her boys have been like in her home and how kindness always leads the way.
