How do the components of human diversity influence children's well-being, behavior, attitudes and growth?
As children get older they begin to develop a sense of who they are and where they belong. And when children develop positive relationships with other children and educators, it helps them feel they belong. Early learning about themselves and others lays the foundation for their future health and well-being. Early childhood is also the time when children first become aware of differences among people and start to form opinions and attitudes about these differences and understanding the difference between a family member and a stranger or knowing the difference between males and females. This awareness also means young children are sensitive to experiences of racism and prejudice. This can impact on their social and emotional well-being, their learning and their social relationships.
