Siendo tú: una primera conversación sobre género

Illustrated by Anne/Andy Passchier
Translated by Cristina Nuñez
Look inside
¡Este innovador título de la serie Primeras conversaciones ahora está disponible en español! Esta serie está basada en estudios que revelan que, desde la primera infancia, se debe conversar con los niños sobre la raza, el género, el consentimiento y una visión positiva del cuerpo, y ofrece a los adultos la oportunidad de iniciar esas importantes conversaciones de una manera informada y segura, y con el apoyo necesario.

This second book in the series begins the conversation on gender.

     Desarrollado por expertos en el sector de la primera infancia y el activismo contra la injusticia, este libro temático ofrece un lenguaje claro y concreto con hermosas imágenes que los niños pequeños puedan captar. Texto adicional ofrece recursos e ideas adicionales para ampliar la discusión.

    Los niños observan y cuestionan con avidez lo que sucede a su alrededor. Los adultos, en contraste, suelen acallar o posponer las conversaciones sobre temas complicadas porque les cuesta saber por dónde empezar. Hay estudios que demuestran que el hablar sobre asuntos como la raza y el género desde los dos años de edad no solo ayuda a los niños a entender lo que ven sino que incrementa su autoconocimiento y autoestima y los ayuda a reconocer y confrontar cuestiones injustas, como la discriminación y los prejuicios.

      Este segundo libro de la serie inicia la conversación sobre el género  con una aproximación provista de apoyo que tiene en cuenta tanto al niño como al adulto. Hermosas ilustraciones acompañan el texto simple e interactivo; y al final se ofrecen recursos e ideas adicionales para ampliar la conversación.
