Using TV to Teach Diversity

Lisa Smith writes "In many communities across America the complaint is the same; “I want to help my children learn about other races, religions and cultures, but my community isn’t very integrated & my circle of friends is not diverse, what do I do?” It’s true that although we are a country of diverse backgrounds, most people tend to seek out groups of friends of the same race, religion and/or ethnicity. It is easier to find common ground and the language barrier is not present when spending time with others who share in our culture. However, parents would like their children to be accepting and tolerant of other cultures even though they may not be exposed to them on a regular basis, what’s a parent to do?
Enter the wonderful world of children’s television programming. With the choices our children now have, you can expose your children to multiple cultures, languages and traditions all in the same afternoon. A new study released recently from the American Academy of Pediatrics reveals that high-quality educational programming can have a positive effect on young children. These programs assist in the acquisition of general knowledge and improve cognitive learning among children ages six and younger. The report also states that educational programming which emphasizes cultural and racial diversity can improve children’s attitudes to those subjects. "

The Pardoxes of Caring
A brief piece in the November 21 issue of The Week describes my novel In Hovering Flight as, among other things, a consideration of “the paradoxes of caring.” The more I’ve thought about that phrase the more apt it’s come to seem to me.
Addie and Tom, two of the novel’s central characters, care passionately about birds and about the natural world, and also about the work they do in connection with this passion for the environment—Tom as an ornithologist, Addie as a bird artist and, eventually, an environmental activist. They also care deeply about their daughter Scarlet, the book’s other important character. For Tom, there’s a healthy balance and a meaningful connection between his various loves. But for Addie, the people and things she cares about often seem at war with one another. When Scarlet is a baby, Addie finds it nearly impossible to get to her blind in the woods and sketch, much less do any painting. When Scarlet is older and more independent, Addie’s despair over overdevelopment and environmental degradation often pulls her away from her work. Later, her own declining health interferes. So there’s one paradox of caring: for the mother in this book, the various people and things she cares about seem to interfere with this other important thing, her work as an artist.

Chocolate and Three Generations of Honesty

Some of my earliest preschool memories in the 1960’s involve tagging along with my mother doing all the things mothers have to do – picking up my brothers from school, shopping at the grocery store, banking, and stopping by the drug store for home permanents, coloring books, and the occasional chocolate bar. My mother loves chocolate, but was very health-conscious, so it was fairly rare that we were treated to candy, and we knew not to ask more than once for something after she said “no”.
I got a life-long lesson on honesty as a result of one of these trips to the drug store. On this particular day I wanted that eye-level chocolate bar more than I’d ever wanted anything. I was pretty sure that my mom was going to deny it to me if I asked, because we’d already been given salt-water taffy through the bank-teller window a few minutes before.
