                                                      Be proud of who you are

How to expose your kids to different cultures – SheKnowsImagine a world where everyone was exactly the same. How would that make you feel? Everyone is different and that’s what makes us interesting and unique. We should all be proud of who we are while also showing respect and acceptance towards others. 

To help us reflect on what makes us special and unique, each day this week I will post a couple of questions for you to discuss with someone you live with. Here are today's questions:


1. What do you think the word diversity means? You can look it up in a dictionary if you are not sure.


2. What makes you different from the person you are discussing these questions with? What makes you the same? There can be lots of different things!
