New Resource: Teaching Tolerance
I just learned about this website on Facebook, so I’m putting it here so Mia can learn about it too.
There you go, Mia.
Always looking for ways to help our family understand and empathize with others in the world. We are so amazingly, amazingly, stunningly blessed.
And from Eddie at church, I learned about these books for future reading:
Parenting Beyond Belief – a collection essays on parenting kids without religion. Essays are grouped by subject, written by a diverse group – actors, doctors, teachers, etc. More anecdotal than instructional.
Raising Freethinkers – a great book with much more practical information.
The main thread of the book revolves around ideas like:
Encourage ever-wider circles of empathy.
Promote ravenous curiosity.
Teach engaged coexistence.
Encourage religious literacy.
Invite the questioning of authority, etc.
