About this listen
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A must-have guide to raising inclusive, antiracist children from educator and advocate, Britt Hawthorne.
Raising antiracist children is a noble goal for any parent, caregiver, or educator, but it can be hard to know where to start. Let Britt Hawthorne—a nationally recognized teacher and advocate—be your guide. Raising Antiracist Children acts as an interactive guide for strategically incorporating the tools of inclusivity into everyday life and parenting. Hawthorne breaks down antiracist parenting into four comprehensive sections:
- Healthy bodies—Establishing a safe and body-positive home environment to combat stereotypes and create boundaries.
- Radical minds—Encouraging children to be agents of change, accompanied by scripts for teaching advocacy, giving and taking productive feedback, and becoming a coconspirator for change.
- Conscious shopping—Raising awareness of how local shopping can empower or hinder a community’s ability to thrive, and teaching listeners of all ages how to create shopping habits that support their values.
- Thriving communities—Acknowledging the personal power we have to shape our schools, towns, and worlds, accompanied by exercises for instigating change.
Full of questionnaires, stories, activities, tips, and tools, Raising Antiracist Children is a must-have, practical guide essential for parents and caregivers everywhere.

Story
Over the past several years, Dr. Becky Kennedy—known to her followers as “Dr. Becky”—has been sparking a parenting revolution. Millions of parents, tired of following advice that either doesn’t work or simply doesn’t feel good, have embraced Dr. Becky’s empowering and effective approach, a model that prioritizes connecting with our kids over correcting them. Parents have long been sold a model of childrearing that simply doesn’t work. From reward charts to time outs, many popular parenting approaches are based on shaping behavior, not raising humans.

Story
In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to 'bad people'" (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent meaningful cross-racial dialogue.

If you’re struggling to stay on top of your to-do list, you probably have a good reason: anxiety, fatigue, depression, ADHD, or lack of support. For therapist KC Davis, the birth of her second child triggered a stress-mess cycle. The more behind she felt, the less motivated she was to start. She didn’t fold a single piece of laundry for seven months. One life-changing realization restored her sanity—and the functionality of her home: You don’t work for your home; your home works for you.

Over her decades as a clinical psychologist, Dr. Mona Delahooke has routinely counseled distraught parents who struggle to manage their children’s challenging, sometimes oppositional behaviors. These families are understandably focused on correcting or improving a child’s lack of compliance, emotional outbursts, tantrums, and other “out of control” behavior. But, as she has shared with these families, a perspective shift is needed. Behavior, no matter how challenging, is not the problem but a symptom; a clue about what is happening in a child’s unique physiologic makeup.

Most importantly, how do we do any of this in age-appropriate ways? While a great deal of public discussion exists in regard to the impact of race and racism on children of color, meaningful dialogue about and resources for understanding the impact of race on white children are woefully absent. Raising White Kids steps into that void.

Story
Today millions of kids are stuck in a world that doesn't respect, support, or embrace who they really are - these are what Deborah Reber is calling the “differently wired” kids, the one in five children with ADHD, dyslexia, Asperger’s, and other neurodifferences. Their challenges are many. But now there’s hope. Written by Deborah Reber, a best-selling author and mother in the midst of an eye-opening journey with her son who is twice exceptional (he has ADHD, Asperger’s, and is highly gifted), Differently Wired is a how-to, a manifesto, a book of wise advice, and more.

Story
In How We Can Win, Jones delves into the impacts of systemic racism and reveals how her formative years in Chicago gave birth to a lifelong devotion to justice. Here, in a vital expansion of her declaration, she calls for Reconstruction 2.0, a multilayered plan to reclaim economic and social restitutions - those restitutions promised with emancipation but blocked, again and again, for more than 150 years. And, most of all, Jones delivers strategies for how we can effect change as citizens and allies while nurturing ourselves in the fight against a system that is still rigged.

Story
Onward tackles the problem of educator stress, and provides a practical framework for taking the burnout out of teaching. Stress is part of the job, but when 70 percent of teachers quit within their first five years because the stress is making them physically and mentally ill, things have gone too far. Unsurprisingly, these effects are highest in difficult-to-fill positions such as math, science, and foreign languages, and in urban areas and secondary classrooms - places where we need our teachers to be especially motivated and engaged.

The tragedies and reckonings around racism that are rocking the country have created a specific crisis for parents, educators, and other caregivers: How do we talk to our children about racism? How do we teach children to be antiracist? How are kids at different ages experiencing race? How are racist structures impacting children? How can we inspire our children to avoid our mistakes, to be better, to make the world better? These are the questions Ibram X.

Millions of parents, tired of following advice that either doesn’t work or simply doesn’t feel good, have embraced Dr. Becky’s empowering and effective approach, a model that prioritizes connecting with our kids over correcting them. Parents have long been sold a model of childrearing that simply doesn’t work. From reward charts to time outs, many popular parenting approaches are based on shaping behavior, not raising humans.

Beyond helpful for raising biracial children
Exactly what I’ve been looking for. I didn’t realize how closed minded I was, even being married to an AA man and raising a biracial daughter. I now realize that I have much to unlearn so I can better teach my daughter and help make the world she lives in more inclusive.

This is the book I have been waiting for!!
Raising Antiracist Children is the book I have been looking for!
I will read it over and over as my children grow and I plan on recommending it to everyone I know who spends time around children. It is full of helpful definitions, specific practices, and ways to reframe difficult conversations about all forms of bias.
Britt’s writing style is very welcoming. It is clear and precise without tipping over into patronizing. Each section has specific examples from her family that are easy to adopt right away but she also includes the framework she used to collaborate with her partner and children to create the actions and environment that works best for their family so you can do the same.
I absolutely love Britt’s precise use of language. Accurately naming things is so powerful and using clear and intentional language while discussing complex and often misunderstood topics is particularly important. Not only does Britt choose words carefully but she clearly and calmly explains the reasons for her choices (especially if she is introducing labels that are less mainstream). It is so helpful for me to have those calm clear definitions. Reading the Britt’s careful use of language and her respectful explanations is a great model for the way I talk to my children. Words are so powerful.
Raising Antiracist Children has all the things I want when looking for a parenting book. Britt Hawthorne and all of her collaborators are incredibly respectful of each child’s agency, intelligence, curiously, and desire to learn and understand the world. Each section gives developmentally appropriate ways for them to learn and grow together with their adults. Britt welcomes you behind the scenes so you can build off her work to develop the practices that work best for your family. Sources are cited and there are lots of options for further reading. It’s easy to read and broken up into short sections, that make it easy to read even with a burst schedule. And last but not least Britt continually focuses on creating a practice of continual growth rather than perfection.
I was given an advanced review copy in exchange for an honest review but I purchased the audio book so I could listen to it again 💚 I loved being able to absorb the lessons of Britt and her contributors in written and audio form. I will revisit this book often in both forms!!

A must read for all caregivers
Disclaimer: I was given an advanced review copy in exchange for an honest review but I have also purchased my own copy, the audiobook, and several other copies to give away (yes, it's THAT good).
If you are a parent, caregiver, grandparent, teacher, or living human being, you need to read this book and buy it for the people in your life. It's the book I wish I had when my children were young. Britt has a beautiful way of communicating and giving language to many things that I have only been able to feel but not express.
The book is broken down into five parts: deepening our understandings, healthy bodies, radical minds, conscious consumption, and thriving communities. It lists all contributors with bio's, cites sources, offers additional reading recommendations for each section, bibliography, and index for easy reference.
My favorite part is probably the different activities, playful imagination examples, practical examples of incorporating lessons with children with questions and reflective prompts (on a walk, pointing out a crack in the sidewalk and asking your child why it is a problem and who it affects, then going home and calling 311 with your child to report the problem so it can be fixed) gentle ways to correct kids, ways to set boundaries with family, teachers, etc. and so much more.
If I had one complaint? It would be that Britt is not the voice on the audiobook. Yes, I'm biased. From being a part of her online community, I know that she has such a gentle (yet strong) and kind spirit and exudes such gratitude. The reader was great...Britt just would have been better.
