Published on June 1, 2020

Children are experiencing stress during this time. The value of play cannot be underestimated for our youngest citizens; play reduces stress and brings people together. As families are looking for ways to talk to children about what is happening in Richmond and across the country, below are a few resources.

  • EmbraceRace.com “Something Happened In Our Town”
  • HealthyChildren.org “Talking to Children About Racial Bias”
  • National Institute for Child Health and Human Development “An Activity Book for African American Families: Helping Children Cope with Crisis”
  • TodaysParent.com “Kids Books that Talk About Racism”
  • Center for Racial Justice in Education “Resources for Talking About Race, Racism, and Racialized Violence with Kids”
  • Children’s Museum of Indianapolis “6 Books that Can Help You Talk to Your Child About Race and Diversity”
  • Mental Health Issues Facing the Black Community | The Underlying Causes (sunshinebehavioralhealth.com)
