Growing Up Together:
Conversations that Build Curiosity, Empathy & Connection
with Tabari A. Coleman, EdD, MPA
Wednesday, October 14 | 6:30–8:00pm
The Rand Center for Performing Arts & Athletics
Children are constantly noticing the world around them—who is similar to them, who is different, what feels fair, who belongs, and how people treat one another. As parents and caregivers, we have an important opportunity to help them make sense of what they see and experience.
This interactive program explores practical, age-appropriate ways to talk with children about difference, identity, fairness, bias, and belonging. Through reflection, conversation, and real-life scenarios, we consider how to respond to children's questions and observations and how everyday family conversations can strengthen curiosity, empathy, confidence, and connection.
Please register by Friday, October 9. Park in the Main Parking Lot and enter campus through Dunbar House. Adults only, please; childcare is available for Forsyth students.
Contact Stephanie Teachout, Assistant Head of School for Strategic Initiatives & Upper Division Director, with any questions.
