Abstract	Due to the challenging and charged political climate of 2017, educators may feel that engaging students in conversations about race, culture, and other differences can only enflame tensions, rather than calm them. This is especially true in environments with young children, as we are inclined to think that approaching these topics will cause, rather than solve, problems for the educators themselves. However, it is important that schools be proactive in teaching young children to appreciate differences and diversity. Beginning at an early age, children can distinguish the physical features that define our societal construction of race, such as skin color, hair textures, and facial features. This report discusses ways to nurture positive attitudes toward these differences to ensure that children will develop an appreciation of these differences, rather than a fear of them. (ERIC).
