Listen: I am going to cook my baby



I just listened to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's podcast, "I am going to cook my baby" from April 4, 2021.

Take a listen at the link that doll-friend Julius Maloney shared with me.

The proof remains that representation matters. Children, particularly children of color, must see themselves in a positive light. The positive sense-of-self teaching begins in the home. Instilling cultural and racial pride to ward off negative messages from outside sources should begin in infancy. This is often difficult to do based on socioeconomic differences between cultures, but any and every attempt to show a child they are loved and that they are just as important as the next child are tools any parent can use to help boost a child's self-concept. Doll representation is another important tool.
