Hidden Challenges of Raising Multilingual Multicultural Kids

Besides the obvious challenges (like children not speaking your language and the majority language) of raising kids multilingual, there are a few hidden challenges that are hardly talked about. One of them being the issue of skin color and racism.

“How our Skin Sparkles” by is about a boy asking his mom about why his skin seems to be a different shade than his classmates and even his own family. His mom answers his questions through science, but also relates it to their family history and culture as well as a few other clever ways. This book is a great read for kids who may be struggling with this same question because it provides them with valuable information on how to respond when dealing with this issue.

Most parents who are raising multicultural or biracial kids would probably agree, the issue of skin color is brought up many times. We have encountered comments from people about how our children don’t look like their origins, But the book lets the reader know that each person has their unique color. “How our Skin Sparkles”, is not only relatable for kids but presents them with arguments they can give when people comment about their skin color. You can read more of my review of this book plus an interview with the author over on my blog, click the link "BLOG" in my bio.

How do you talk with your children about skin color and race?
