Helping Children to Think About Race

Helping Children to Think About Race

Racism can present itself in different ways in a young child’s life. A child may have direct or indirect experiences of racism, but the impact can be felt all the same.
The Anna Freud Centre have produced this booklet to: 

• highlight the various ways that race and racism impact children in the early years

• introduce the idea of racial socialisation and how it supports child development

• start to think about ways to support racial socialisation in the early years

• identify some ways to facilitate your journey in supporting racial socialisation in your setting.
