The Neuroscience of Talking to Young Children About Race
Many educators want to talk about race but feel unsure what is developmentally appropriate. This science-based workshop uses neuroscience and child development to remove guesswork and offer clear, age-appropriate ways to start and sustain conversations over time.

About the event
Event Overview
Many adults worry about saying too much, saying the wrong thing, or starting conversations about race before children are “ready.” As a result, conversations are often avoided—or handled inconsistently—despite children already noticing and making meaning about difference.
This workshop is grounded in neuroscience and child development and is designed to take the guesswork out of talking with young children about race. Participants learn how children’s brains develop over time, how meaning-making changes across age bands, and what types of language and responses are developmentally appropriate at different stages.
Rather than focusing on scripts or one-time conversations, the workshop emphasizes how to start and sustain conversations about race over time, using picture books as developmentally supportive anchors.
