There are many ways to discriminate against children – and each one hurts, undermines their self-esteem, and prevents them from reaching their potential. Whether it’s discrimination against overweight, queer, disabled, or poor individuals, or racism against Asian, Jewish, Muslim, Black people, as well as Romani and Sinti: In this book, the authors – along with experts Raúl Krauthausen, Melodie Michelberger, and many others – reveal to parents how to raise children and teenagers to be aware of prejudices, devaluation, and exclusion, and how to protect them from it. It includes numerous tips on helpful books, media, and games, as well as guidance for parents and other adults to support them in having difficult conversations and responding appropriately in challenging situations.

We hope this book will help you encourage young people to actively contribute to a fairer and more inclusive world. Let’s empower the next generation together! Olaolu Fajembola and Tebogo Nimindé-Dundadengar.
