How to Talk to Kids About Poverty and Homelessness

All books in the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Parent Guidebooks series are written for parents (and caregivers) of elementary school kids. This guidebook focuses on poverty and homelessness by providing instructions for parents to teach kids how to treat poor people with kindness and respect. You'll find concise guidance and practical ideas for:

• Subtly learning your child's true opinion of poverty
• Explaining the basics about poverty
• Discussing poverty stereotypes
• Responding to common questions from kids about homelessness

Please note: 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 integrating diversity and inclusion values into daily life at home.
