DEI for Parents - Teaching diversity acceptance at home

We help parents teach cultural awareness at home.

All parents are teachers!

To help prepare your grade-schooler for a successful life, we created a collection of DEI parenting guidebooks. (DEI stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.) Each guidebook focuses on a specific DEI value (e.g., LGBTQ+, gender equality, special needs, immigration, poverty, indigenous people, etc.).

Why focus on parents?

At the end of the day, it's parents who need answers to the inevitable questions their kids ask. And it's parents who will be having follow-up conversations, deciphering mixed messages, adjusting household routines, and ultimately, steering the moral and ethical compass of the next generation.

The best part?

Instead of general advice like 'be a good role model' or 'talk about feelings,' our guidebooks provide specific, age-appropriate examples and step-by-step instructions for subtly folding diversity and inclusion values into household routines, homeschool lessons, and daily conversations.

What our customers are saying

Thank you for writing this!
I was so happy to find this book and series. My most favorite part is the answers/scripts the book gives, almost like a script for lost parents of what to say when their child asks questions about DEI issues. I'm so relieved to have this book in hand and I thank you very much for writing it for us.
I love this series!
This book helps parents and caregivers develop their children’s curious mind in important ways. If you want to make your child a better citizen of the country and the world, this guide to understanding immigration is a great place to start.
Ideas and resources galore
This is a great guide for fathers of girls who seek to find ways to leverage close family relationships to explore gender themes together, so that educational conversations can happen. The guides and resources are wonderful, and the author's style is informative without being pushy. I loved it.
Finally! A diversity book for parents!
I've read so many children's books about diversity to my kids lately. I'm stumped every time they ask a question. The books in this series are the perfect companion books. I'm so pleased!
I'm so glad this book series exists
This book is really, really well done. I'm often skeptical of books that tackle LGBTQ issues so head-on. But I was pleasantly surprised. This book is centered around the concepts of compassion and acceptance -- and all of the author's advice starts and ends there.
Empowering Parents to Raise Compassionate and Inclusive Kids
"How to Respond to Disability Curiosity from Kids" is a groundbreaking guide that empowers parents to raise compassionate and inclusive children. This insightful book offers practical advice on how to address disability-related questions from kids, fostering understanding and empathy. The author's expertise and clear writing style make it an invaluable resource for parents seeking to create a more inclusive world for special-needs individuals. A must-read for anyone looking to raise socially aware and empathetic children in today's diverse society.
I highly recommend the whole series!
Kindness toward immigrants is so important. We were all strangers here unless we were Native American Indians. I like how Trish Allison says how important it is to praise a child who is responding well to learning by looking them in the eye and encouraging them. The author writes excellent social justice books for good parenting.
Empowering, no nonsense guide
Trish Allison has distilled this topic to its most informative and empathic essence. It is comprehensive yet brief. The writing is succinct and extremely well-organized. She did a fantastic job here. Strongly recommended! Clearly a labor of love. I suspect her whole series of books reaches the same level of excellence.
Wonderful book from a wonderful series

This guidebook is an excellent resource for parents who want their kids to learn the importance of treating immigrants with kindness and respect. The author uses expert-backed input from specialists in child development, education policy, immigration practice, to show how children can better understand a controversial concept such as 'immigration.'
