One hope I have for working with children and families who come from diverse backgrounds is that I give them a sense of belonging. I want them to feel like they are part of the group, yet they are able to still keep their social identities, which makes them special and diverse to start with.
A goal for the early childhood community in regards to diversity and equity and social justice is to continue to put children's and families needs first. We can put children and families first without compromising our beliefs, because in the end, we need to treat everyone as Jesus would anyway. I know this is a challenge but it is one we need to meet.
I have enjoyed working with and watching my classmates grow this semester, and I wish everyone the best of luck in their future endeavors!

Shannon you are so right and I personally am striving to live by the example that Jesus set for us all. I know what my beliefs are and how they may conflict with those of society. I also agree that I can put children and families first without comprising those beliefs. Thank you so much for sharing and good luck in your future endeavors.
