Diversity Paragraph
In different cultures things can mean something different. Such as
personal space: In some cultures, it could be offensive if you sit or stand too
close to someone. In some cultures, smiling has different meanings and could
cause embarrassment. Other cultural differences may include how people may
feel about eye contact, touch and time concepts. In order to better understand
a familys culture, it is important to use the knowledge of the childs
background to help understand behavior.
Some ideas that would be great to implement in the classroom would be
different books, music, dress up, different flags and languages around the
room. I would also like to create a support group for single parent families,
military families whose spouse may be deployed and families who have
children with disabilities.
Diversity Quotes
It is important to control our biases It is important that the traits or characteristics that
we like or dislike, accept or do not accept, do not cause us to lose our objectivity. It is
particularly important not to pass judgments on children or make evaluative statements
that reflect poorly on character or worth (Betzen; 2009, pg. 71)
The effects of culture cannot be ignored or overemphasized.(Bentzen; 2009, pg.237) In
order to better understand a familys culture it is important to use of knowledge of the
childs background to help understand behavior.
For young children, individualizing and adapting your curriculum according to each
childs home culture is as essential to heathy development as substituting cream cheese
for peanut butter is for a child who is allergic to peanuts. Individualizing according to
each childs home culture always requires striking balance.(Derman-Sparks&
Edwards;2010, pg. 62)
They are also learning from us, the early childhood professionals. What we model for
them about accepting and honoring differences will make a big difference in their
lives.(Mena;2008, pg.32)
