How to Help Children Embrace Diversity

One way to help children embrace diversity, according to new research: Expose them to different cultures early in life. Previous studies showed that when kids between the ages of 3 and 5 are given the opportunity to imitate two adults—one who speaks their native language and another who speaks a foreign one—they’re more likely to imitate those who are like themselves.

Researchers from the University of Chicago recently tested this with 18-month-olds, however, and found that those who came from more ethnically diverse neighborhoods were more likely to imitate the adult who spoke a different language. “The findings suggest that exposure to different kinds of people at a young age could influence kids’ willingness to interact and learn from others who are different from themselves,” says Lauren Howard, a Ph.D. candidate in psychology and the study’s lead author.

  75. My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on various websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard very good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!

One thing I have noticed is that banks and financial institutions know the spending habits of consumers and understand that most people max out their credit cards around the holidays. They wisely take advantage of this fact and start flooding your inbox and snail-mail box with hundreds of 0 APR credit card offers soon after the holiday season ends. Knowing that if you are like 98% of the American public, you’ll jump at the chance to consolidate credit card debt and transfer balances to 0 APR credit cards. bbbbbba https://thyroidmedi.com – buy thyroid pain medicine
