Diversity & inclusion. It's time we start talking about it in more ways than just reminding children of the "Golden Rule". According to research, there's a psychological connection between a person’s self-concept and their concept of others. Hearty relationships are attributed to a healthy self-image. Since we know feelings always follow thoughts, it’s crucial that elementary and middle school students are taught these messages so they can feel the connection between “their self” and “their neighbor” with an endearing resolution to diversity & inclusion.
