Product Description
Product Description
Describing how effective persona dolls can be in training young children, and the people who work with them, this books aims to help children understand and unlearn their prejudices. The author contends that attitudes and prejudices are forming in children by the age of three and research shows that these are likely to be negative towards people who are visibly different from themselves. These dolls have been successfully used in Australia and the US to challenge the values, stereotypes and prejudices that underpin racism and other social inequalities. They can provide an enjoyable, innovative and non-threatening way to build on children's sense of identity, self-esteem and confidence and to encourage them to respond to others with empathy, respect and sensitivity.
