PREFACE:
This space has been created for parents, educators, social justice advocates, mentors, youth based organizations and attendees of “Who am I? Understanding Children’s Identity Formation” as a forum for sharing experiences and reflections as they work through these resources. On this page, we invite and encourage you to share your experiences and reflections, ideas and insights and engage with others in a safe, meaningful, substantive, and bold conversations on the impact of race and racism on children’s understanding of themselves and the social world.
While these resources are intended to offer a foundation on the subject of understanding children’s identity formation, our list is not intended to be exhaustive and we welcome suggestions to other potential resources.
With our next event on February 8th, 2018 titled “Who am I? Understanding Children’s Identity Formation” along with both the provided and suggested resources on this page, we hope readers will explore different ways they can best support children as they figure out who they are.
