Encourage Curiosity
It is necessary to show your children the importance of finding similarities. However, the main goal is not to diminish or hide our differences. When kids may recognize both differences and similarities, they will have more motivation to stay curious and explore the surrounding world. Researchers have shown that neglecting differences may actually lead to discrimination. This is mainly because it affects how we empathize and understand other people. To encourage curiosity, a simple way is to expose your children to different cultures, places, people and let them enjoy diverse activities, books, or movies. [8]
