Resources for Raising Conscious Kids: March Edition

As an agency, Bridgetown Baby is deeply committed both to confronting bias within ourselves, building our skills, and creating an inclusive model of care that authentically serves our clients and contributes to culture change. This is work we all can do. It starts with us; it continues with our children - and we are their most important teachers. Each month, we'll be sharing resources for talking with kids about bias, celebrating differences, and actions our families can take to create a world we all can live in.

Reading with kids is more than a bullet point in our job description as parents - it’s fun and funny and sweet; it offers some blessedly quiet moments in our children’s busy days; it fuels their cognitive and linguistic development. On a deeper level, the words and images that children are exposed to shape their sense of who they can be and what they can do.
