The Influence of Cartoons on Children’s Socialization

When families work to help their children understand race and racism, they are engaging in a process known as racial socialization. To understand how racial socialization can be used as a tool for anti-racism, there is much to learn from families who have been racially marginalized and the lessons they have taught their children.

Watch this conversation in which we explore racial socialization as a vital form of parent and caregiver involvement and discuss strategies that resist and disrupt racism when socializing young children, ages 0 to 8. EmbraceRace: Tonight we're excited to be talking about racial socialization as resistance to racism. We've touched on this in other conversations, but specifically we're going to talk about the early years, zero to eight, and what racial socialization is and how to use it to raise anti-racist kids of all stripes.

We have three guests today, but we will start out with one and we'll invite the other two on later. EmbraceRace: Our first guest is Dahlia Lloyd. Really glad to have Dahlia who has been dedicated to ensuring that early childhood systems and practices support young, diverse learner's, optimal development and learning. She's been doing that work for 20 years. Dahlia is a family and community program specialist for the Buffet Early Childhood Institute , where she provides coaching and support to school-based family facilitators.

Her research interests include racial socialization, implicit bias in early childhood, and sociocultural classroom interactions. Dahlia, welcome. EmbraceRace: Wonderful to have you.

And Dahlia, we're going to start with you in the place we usually start. For folks who do this work, there's almost always a personal investment. What is it about you that brought you to the work that you do? Dalhia Lloyd: Yeah. So as long as I can remember, I have been really interested in the social construct of race and how that feeds into racism.

And I would say that my personal life, my professional life and the intersection of both of those have played a major role in what has brought me to this work. So in my personal life, I'm raising two children. I have a boy and a girl, and I've helped them both through navigating some racialized experiences.

Sometimes their experiences are the same and sometimes they're different. For my daughter, I can recall having conversations about hair texture, skin tone, and body types. And for my son, I remember having conversations with him about staying close to me when we are in grocery stores, because I was afraid of how someone may view a little Black boy running around a grocery store, right.

So in my professional life, I've been an infant teacher, a toddler teacher, and a preschool teacher. I've also been a director. In my role as a director, I've had parents come to me and say, "Hey, my child has reported these negative racialized experiences. What do I do? What do I say? How do I approach this? I, as a parent, was trying to figure that out myself. And so I tried to just rely on that. But it was these experiences that really made me curious about how parents actually have these conversations with their children.

What does these conversations look like and how do children respond? And how do parents then respond to how children are responding to those conversations? And so just thinking about what strategies can parents use to support their parenting as they're tackling these issues.

So it's those questions that have brought me to the work and keeps me in the work. What are the different strategies that you see or that are in the literature about how parents or caregivers do that? So racial socialization is a process used to convey implicit and explicit messages about the meaning of race, and then add in some strategies to cope with racism.

And this process can happen in schools, in neighborhoods. And it happens in all families. It just may happen differently. The frequency may be different, the combination of strategies may be different, but it's there.

Transmission can happen in various ways. So it can be transmitted verbally, or it can be transmitted non-verbally. Non-verbally, an example of that would be a child may notice how a parent's voice or their posture may change in the presence of someone that is racially different from them, right? The process is also, it could be direct or indirect. So a parent may talk directly to a child about recent protests, but the child may also overhear their parent on the phone talking about the protest.

And so then they receive indirect messages that way as well. And then it's also bi-directional. So children are not just these passive recipients of racial socialization, but they also help shape what that racial socialization may look like. Earlier today, I saw a Facebook video , and I don't know how many others have saw it, but I saw a Facebook video of a four year old Black girl who was getting her hair done by who I am assuming was her mother. And while she's getting her hair done, she turns to the camera and she says, "I'm ugly.

She talked about, "Black is beautiful. You have beautiful chocolate skin. But it was an opportunity for this mom to say, "This is happening to my child right now and this is how I'm going to respond to it.

Racial socialization can also be proactive too. Parents can plan to have these conversations. And so when I'm talking about the different practices that make up racial socialization, there are four different types of strategies or practices. EmbraceRace: We assume that, especially with the young children, that all the messages they receive come from home or from school because it seems like they're in one or the other place, maybe in preschool.

This was clearly a case, almost surely a case where, not to say it didn't come from home, but it almost surely didn't come from her mom, judging by that reaction. That's the thing people really need to take to heart. I think it's really important that we understand when we talk about racial socialization, it's not just something that happens in families.

It does happen in schools. It does happen in neighborhoods. You're receiving all kinds of messaging. I go back to when my child, my daughter was three or four years old and how she had just taken a bath and she got out of the bathtub and was boo hoo crying because she wanted to have long blonde hair. I know I didn't provide those messages, and I tried to be really careful in what books she read and what dolls she had. I tried to be careful in that, but she still received some type of message about what beauty means in her eyes.

Dalhia Lloyd. EmbraceRace: Right. Which is to say, by the way, racial socialization isn't only about how we come to understand our own identities, how your daughter comes to understand her Blackness if that's how she's identified, but how she understands perhaps Whiteness and long hair, so other people's identities.

Dalhia Lloyd: That's exactly right. So these are the four big types of racial socialization strategies or dimensions that are in the literature. And so I'll go through these really quickly. And so those would be the four types of strategies that specific practices would go under in racial socialization.

And as I mentioned earlier, these four practices, while they are distinct in their own right, there are moments where they may merge. And so you might have a parent who's practicing cultural socialization and preparation for bias at the same time.

So it's not that a parent just practices one of these four things, but there might be some merging going on as well. EmbraceRace: So forgive me, folks if I'm stating the obvious, but what we're saying is that all parents, all caregivers, in fact, empirically, use combinations of these.

And maybe not every single thing that they do, but most of what they do can be grouped under one of these four categories. And then they draw from these four categories and do the work they do with their kids. EmbraceRace: And Dahlia, they may do it, ideally they're intentional. We also, as parents, socialize unintentionally, right?

EmbraceRace: As you pointed out, there are also families with different identities. Not only racial identities, class identity, different circumstances. So the context in which these strategies are used presumably also has an effect on the impact they make. What do we know about the effects of racial socialization?

What does it mean to use one or the other or different combinations? What does it even mean to be effective? So broadly speaking, there are some strategies, such as the promotion of mistrust, that are linked to negative child outcomes, such as increase in behavior issues. But luckily there are some that are linked to positive outcomes, like engaging in cultural socialization has been linked to children having higher self-esteem, higher academic performance and engagement, higher problem solving skills, and a decrease in behavior [issues].

And so some examples of cultural socialization and how to support a child in that would be going to the museum to learn about their history or reading a book that shows the child not just their physical characteristics, but shows their lived experiences as well.

They could see themselves in the book. Or attending cultural celebrations, sharing family stories and traditions. These are all things that can help children have a strong racial identity and feel good about themselves.

EmbraceRace: So promotion of mistrust can have negative outcomes. What about the effects of egalitarianism? So what's interesting is in the literature there has been some mixed things that come up with egalitarianism at a younger age.

Playdates are ruining all the fun

Patterns of child socializationEditorial The theme of this issue represents a contribution to the aims of the current International Year of the Child. By showing the influence of selected environmental factors and culturally determined values upon children and child-rearing practices, attention is drawn to ways in which established adult societies shape and colour the sphere of their as yet immature members. Here is one way of viewing the linkage between generations and the universal h u m a n drive to perpetuate patterns and standards, which is at the very base of cultural identity. Illness, unfortunately, prevented him from contributing an article himself, as he had originally intended to do.

TV That Inspires Empathy

Nevertheless, there are some actors who could still promote a shift in culture. Children shape their reality according to the models they build with many bricks: stories, songs, films, plays, experiences and many other factors which help them in codifying the reality into common patterns to be reproduced. Through these elements, they discover how the world they live in and themselves, too. In this sense, the lack of representation of the reality in which they live may also affect them in a long-term perspective and under many points of view. The same findings are shown by the research that underlined how identifying with popular characters with the same identities in mainstream media leads to higher self-esteem on several dimensions Ward,

What parents can say to kids who are struggling socially and how they can help. If your child is struggling to make friends, there are ways to help. First, try to figure out why. Some kids need help with social skills. This is common for kids who are immature or have ADHD, autism or non-verbal learning disorder.

The importance of children’s representation in literature and media

Preparing your son in advance of social situations can help them go well. Question: My 5-year-old son struggles with socialising with other kids in groups, especially when we go out to parties or other big group situations. When he is just with me and my husband, he is a delightful happy boy but in a larger group he transforms into a whiney, irritable boy who acts out. When the adults spoke to him he was rude. I was very embarrassed and I'm sure everyone was thinking he was an "awful " child this is despite the fact that I know he can be so lovely one -to -one. This sort of thing happens most times we bring him out.

Racial Socialization as Resistance to Racism, the Early Years

As a sociology student we know four agents of socialization, which help children, develop. These are family, school, peers and mass media. But in that global age scholars give more important on mass media as a powerful and influential agent of socialization.

Worried the pandemic has affected your child? Experts advise on how to help

Most children feel shy fairly often, and shyness is a personality trait to be nurtured and embraced — not a flaw to be "fixed. As the hugely popular TED Talk called "The power of introverts" points out, not everyone has a boisterous personality, and quiet people have important gifts to share with the world. But shyness can become more of an issue when it is "the manifestation of inner problems, not inner peace. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, shyness that becomes debilitating may be a sign of an anxiety disorder, which may require help from a mental health professional. In any case, avoid labeling your child as shy, because he may feel trapped by the label or may hide behind it to avoid developing socially.

How the Pandemic Has Shaped Babies’ Development

As adults, we are innately aware that some activities are only okay in certain relationships. While you might get away with being drunk, swearing at high volume or farting loudly in front of close members of your family, such behavior is usually frowned upon during a job interview. But how do young children grow to understand these relatively complex social arrangements and use them to navigate the world? Researchers at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT have taken an unusual approach to answering this conundrum of developmental psychology: by taking a deep dive into how children view the act of saliva sharing. The first challenge for the research team, led by Prof. The team settled on a term, used by Israeli philosopher Avishai Margalit in his book The Ethics of Memory , to describe these special bonds — thick relationships. With this definition in hand, the team then sought a behavior unique to thick relationships.
