Did you know that at 6 months of age, children notice racial differences; and by age 4, children can begin to show signs of racial bias?

At Capitol Kids Therapy we support and stand by families of color in our community and across the country. CKT’s goal is to help provide our community with kid-friendly resources that encourage and support all families with racial discussions. Check out this Embrace Race Action Guide for ways to start talking to your child today.

These tips are designed to help parents of all backgrounds teach and talk to their children about race early and often by lifting up age-appropriate activities that can be incorporated easily into your daily life.
