We Are All Different: A Celebration of Diversity!

Product Information

Reproduction is fundamental to evolution and we are genetically programmed with a host of psychological mechanisms to ensure that we reproduce. Fostering a positive atmosphere in the classroom may also help prevent bullying, as kids can be more accepting of each other's differences. Not only that, but if a child feels more comfortable in a classroom setting, they can improve their confidence and self-esteem as well! Children will relate to the characters, their likes and dislikes and their characteristics, and will recognise some people in their own class who share some of these similarities. Use this PowerPoint as a great discussion tool to get children thinking and talking about all the wonderful ways in which we are different. This teaching presentation is great for providing children with the vocabulary they need to talk about the similarities and differences between themselves and others, such as words linked to eyes, hair, skin, families, hobbies and more. It’s unlikely their behaviour has something to do with their genetic programming. What’s happened in their case is that they’ve formed certain beliefs that have overridden their desire to reproduce.

Some may not want to get married because they’re too passionate about their work and don’t want to expend any time or effort in parenting. Available in eBook and PDF format, this book is all about what makes us different! It looks at physical differences such as hair types and skin colour, different families, likes and dislikes and more. It ends with the message: 'We are all different. We are all friends!'. This resource is perfect to use during Disability Pride Month in July. Why should children learn that we are all different?

Throughout our lives, we'll meet a wide range of people who are all different. Introducing children to this concept when they're young, and showing them that differences are something to be celebrated rather than looked down upon, will help children to become kinder and more empathetic.

Is it true that we are all the same? Or are we all different? People seem to argue on this topic endlessly. Consider the following scenarios: Another level of innate behaviours has to do with our sex and sex hormones. Men have certain ways of behaving that differ from how women behave and vice versa.She doesn’t like it when someone interferes in her personal life. Others may like it when you ask them about their relationships, but she gets very defensive. We’re all different you see. Video animations like this one are brilliant for introducing your class to new topics, as they can make them much easier to understand. It can be difficult for children to stay focused when receiving a lot of new information in the classroom, so introducing that information through an engaging video can really help the learning process. Showcasing your students’ work. A bright, colourful display board littered with your students’ work and art is a great way to showcase their fabulous efforts. Displays such as these are often changed and updated throughout the year, which adds to the interactive feel and shows the class’ progress as the year goes on. Humans are born with some hard-wired behaviours that are a part of our genetic heritage. These are the behaviours we demonstrate just because we are humans.
