In this post, we are venturing into the topic of raising culturally competent children. This is a multifaceted subject that cannot be thoroughly covered in just one post, so while I plan to delve into the “how” of nurturing such traits in many upcoming entries, today’s focus will be on identifying the key characteristics of culturally competent kids. Understanding these traits is a crucial step in guiding our children towards becoming empathetic and globally aware individuals.
As a scholar deeply involved in the fields of intercultural communication, cultural competence, and media literacy, I’m passionate about integrating these areas in a distinctive and impactful manner. The inception of this blog was driven by my desire to blend my academic expertise with the real-life experiences of nurturing a culturally competent child. This platform is a space for exploration, learning, and sharing insights aimed at cultivating children who are open-minded, empathetic, and globally aware, beginning within the realms of our own homes.
