Module 1: Valuing Each Child and Family

Components of Human Diversity

Module 1 Menu

Page 6

---

Consider how we get to know children in our programs and how we celebrate the ways they are unique.  Think about some techniques on how to build a sense of community that honors the diversity represented in our classrooms and in the larger world.

You can also help children develop respect and appreciation for people whose ideas and experiences are different from their own. This module will introduce you to the importance of embracing differences by exploring your own attitudes, and reflecting on your influence on children.
