The guide, written by author and activist Uju Asika, asks parents to consider if "your family express negative thoughts about foreigners and immigrants? What is your social circle like today? Could you be doing more?" The guide, drawn up following the Black Lives Matter protests, has drawn criticism from educators who have warned the resource is “inappropriate” and “clearly not impartial".
"However, young babies don’t attach any specific emotion or value judgement to race. That happens over time, based on what we learn from our environment. So as a parent, you should be proactive about tackling negative mindsets from early on.
The Duchess of Cambridge helped launch the BBC's Tiny Happy People site in summer 2020, describing it as “gold dust for families, giving tips and tools to use particularly in those first five years".Ms Asika also warned parents talking about race "can trigger difficult emotions" and advised them to "take some private time to deal with any negative feelings before you have a conversation with your child.
