How to Talk With Curious Kids About: Hair
A Table of Diversity® Practice Guide Edition 4
Kids notice hair before they have the words for what they're noticing — texture, curl, color, style, or its absence. This guide isn't a script to memorize. It's a practice you build, one conversation at a time.
Inside, you'll find:
Curious Questions: simple, low-stakes questions to find out what your kid already thinks about hair, before the "real" conversation even starts
Hair 101: the biology and culture of hair, with a version for grown-ups and a version for kids (fun facts included)
Conversation Starters: three sets of conversation starters that meet you and your kid where you are
Identity Compounds: a deeper look at how hair combines with other parts of identity to deepen understanding and build important skills
A Hair Activity: a hands-on way to put curiosity into practice together
Built for curious kids. It works with curious adults too.
This guide is grounded in the Table of Diversity™ framework: reflect on your own identity; relate better to others; rise up and take meaningful action. This is about practice, not perfection.
