How to Explain Immigration to Kids

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 the importance of talking to kids about immigration and integrating the right messaging into their daily routine. You'll find concise how-to instructions and practical ideas for:

• Discovering what your child already knows about immigrants
• Defining immigrant family basics
• Talking about genetics and your own family heritage
• Answering common questions from kids about immigration
• Explaining how to be an immigrant's ally

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.
