With all of our gratitude and appreciation,

Inclusive Ways to Celebrate Parents and Families by VSB Diversity:
- Help children focus on what they have, not what they don’t have, by looking at the range of caring adults in their lives.
- Find out from children or their families the language they use to talk about their families.
- Read books with students that feature many kinds of family structures
Inclusive Ways to Celebrate Father’s Day by VSB Diversity:
- Make sure that you talk about the different people in your children’s lives who could receive any cards or gifts children might create
- With older elementary children, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day can also be used as an opportunity to look at gender stereotypes.
- For younger children, steer clear of activities that involve gender-stereotyping – like making cards shaped like ties for Father’s Day.
- Recognize that there may be children who have lost a parent or whose parent is absent, and difficult emotions may come up if you celebrate Father’s Day.
- The key is to be sensitive and help those children who need it, so that they do not have to handle challenges alone.
