Breaking the Cycle

For parents, carers and educators

Read together. Pause at a choice. Listen to the reason.

Choose one story and let the child explain what they notice before offering your view. Compare choices kindly, without asking children to name real people or disclose private experiences. Use fictional examples and give everyone room to pass.

  • Who is left out?
  • What would be fair?
  • Who is affected by this choice?
  • What could the characters do differently next time?

Finish by choosing one small way to practise inclusion or fairness together.
