Children often raise questions about differences they observe among their classmates, such as physical traits, abilities, or academic performance. It’s natural to notice differences in others, but we sometimes forget to acknowledge our own. School provides an excellent opportunity to teach children about diversity. Through relatable examples—like varying heights, eye colors, or learning speeds—children can better understand that everyone is unique. It’s essential to emphasize that no one is equally skilled in everything; some excel in math, others in art or sports. Recognizing and respecting these differences fosters empathy and collaboration, helping children grow into adults who appreciate and value diversity in society.
