Talking To Kids About Racism Towards Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI)
Show: Healthy Children
A disturbing trend has been on the rise in the United States: racism against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
So how do we discuss this hate and violence with our children? Bring up the topic of racism in general, and simply teach empathy?
Dr. Steph Lee is back again to help us approach this conversation with our children. She is a pediatrician with Penn State Health and specializes in preventive medicine. She is a spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics and often speaks to the media about parenting and public health issues, including climate action and immigrant health.
