Tip – Asset #34  – Cultural Awareness and Sensitivity

Maintain traditions of your children's cultural and ethnic origins and discuss how the traditions are part of the children's history. Learn and talk about other people, visit festivals, and make friends with families with histories different than yours.  These steps will help your children build their own identities, but also how to respect people who are different whether in racial, religious, cultural and ethnic origins, or with different physical and mental strengths.
