Resources for Helping Children Celebrate Diversity and Inclusion
June 21, 2021
I am continually learning from toddlers—not only about who they are, but about who I am. They inspire me to remain steadfast in refining myself, which in turn encourages me to refine my actions with others.
-Nick Terrones

Dear Exchange Community,

With so much division in our world today, early care and education programs and practitioners can promote a more inclusive and peaceful world by supporting young children’s deep appreciation for diversity. Exchange has a number of resources that can help. Here are three of my favorites:

1. As mentioned earlier, John Nimmo and Debbie Lee Keenan have released a wonderful film that’s available for free download: Reflecting on Anti-Bias Education in Practice: The Early Years

They have asked Exchange to create a DVD/Resource book package for anyone who is needing a DVD. We were happy to do so, and this package is now available for purchase at a low price (just enough to cover production costs).

2. Nadia Jaboneta’s beautiful book, You Can’t Celebrate That! helps educators brave the choppy waters of discussing race and religion with young children. I love the way Nadia shares her own journey so openly, with such heart.

3. Likewise, Nick Terrones’ helpful book, A Can of Worms: Fearless Conversations with Toddlers provides great support for early care and education practitioners who want to be able to answer children’s questions honestly and appropriately - even when children bring up challenging topics. Nick invites his readers to join him on an honest and heartfelt investigation of how to be respectful with young children’s wonderings.

Thank you all for the work that you do to support a new generation’s appreciation for the diversity of our world. It’s so important for our future.

Warmly,

Nancy Rosenow,
Exchange Publisher, 
on behalf of our entire Exchange team

Fearless Conversations with Toddlers

Toddlers ask big, bold questions every day. Teachers and caregivers give shape to the world as they respond to those questions. The conversation unfolds in an electric moment - an awkward, exciting, bewildering moment. We may be surprised or taken aback, but the disequilibrium is a gift. With courage and care, we can connect with children at the level of curiosity and meaning.

Written with trust in the wisdom and capacity of young children and the adults who care for them, and with belief in what is possible when children and adults come together in these electric moments, A Can of Worms is a guide and support for celebrating these most important conversations. Have no fear! Take a deep breath, and respond.

Use code WORMS when prompted.

Offer valid through June 22, 2021 at 11:59 pm Pacific Time.

Hello. I have actually been advised that the film is not ready to be downloaded. I asked them this because I DVD would work for me since most (mine included) available laptops, etc. on campus no longer have DVD drives.
Have you heard anything else about a download?
