Talking about equity and racism with small children is important, but not always easy. To help support this effort, Sesame Street and CNN recently partnered in creating Coming Together: Standing Up to Racism. The show, which is set up in a “town hall” type format, addresses recent nationwide protests, discusses diversity, and shares ways that families can talk to their children about embracing difference with empathy and appreciation.
