Food for Thought:

With the winter holidays comes great teaching opportunities for families and educators alike to learn about other cultures, religions, and traditions. Although this article was written with teachers in mind, I think it is helpful for families and caregivers as well.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) was founded in 1913 by Sigmund Livingston, a Chicago attorney. Livingston envisioned "an America where those who seemed different were not targets of discrimination and threats, but were equals, worthy of shared opportunity and a place in the American dream." This vision remains relevant today.

As always, I hope this information validates the conversations that you are already having in your homes and provides some additional insights, tools, and strategies. 

Wishing you a restorative winter break.
