The world as we knew it changed abruptly in 2020. Whether due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), or subsequent events, including the murder of George Floyd, the election of Joseph Biden and Kamala Harris, or the US Capital Insurrection, racialized events became a focal point for families who found themselves gathering together much more frequently due to government encouraged stay-at-home mandates. Caregivers across races and developmental ages began asking themselves the same question: how can I talk to my child about race? Here, we seek to provide psychoeducation around racial socialization, or the ways we have ‘The Talk’ to our children about race and racism, along with practical strategies to be competent in these conversations with young children in particular. Three steps for parents, including unpacking racial beliefs, practicing with supportive others, and utilizing media to enhance The Talk with children are advanced. We conclude by considering the future as a guidepost by which we can measure our hopes and successes of raising children in a racism-free society.

小孩子刚学会走路时的谈话：当代幼儿的种族社会化

我们知道它在2020年突然发生变化。是否由于新的冠状病毒疾病（Covid-19）或随后的事件，包括穆恩·弗洛伊德的谋杀，选举约瑟夫拜登和Kamala Harris，或美国资本起义，由于政府鼓励居家令，种族化事件成为家庭聚集的焦点。不同种族和不同发育年龄的看护人开始问自己同样的问题：我怎样才能和我的孩子谈论种族？在这里，我们寻求围绕种族社会化提供心理教育，或者我们与孩子们就种族和种族主义进行“谈话”的方式，以及特别是在与幼儿的这些对话中胜任的实用策略。父母的三个步骤，包括解开种族信仰，与支持他人的人一起练习，并利用媒体来增强与孩子的谈话是先进的。最后，我们将未来视为一个路标，通过它我们可以衡量我们在一个没有种族主义的社会中抚养孩子的希望和成功。
