As we move into a new year full of fresh optimism about how our country can make positive progress, The Conscious Kid (TCK) is helping ensure kids understand the importance of diversity.
With partnerships, TCK’s education programs aim to reduce bias and effectively promote positive identity development in youth. The group also supports research and policy organization.
Children are like sponges so what they’re exposed to matters immensely in who they’ll become when they grow up.
And, well, every kid loves a good book. The Conscious Kid offers monthly book subscriptions, delivered in gift paper for extra excitement.
There are several subscription options to choose from, like one book every month for $20, or three borrowed books a month for $30. Parents can select their age group of choice.
Through their Medium blog, they serve up book lists we wish we’d had when we were young. Most recently, they highlighted books with indigenous protagonists written by indigenous authors. Indigenous characters are wildly under-represented in kids books—a recent survey found only 1% of children’s books feature an indigenous character.
