Inclusivity

/ɪnˌkluːˈsɪvəti/

noun

The practice or policy of providing equal access to opportunities and resources for people who might otherwise be excluded or marginalized, such as those having physical or mental disabilities or belonging to other minority groups.

To understand the above definition a little better let’s take an example, if we consider mankind as a vast family, inclusiveness implies that everyone has a seat at the table. No one is left out, ostracised, or excluded. Everyone has something valuable to contribute. Every day, we pass on our beliefs to children by what we say and do as adults.

When we talk about children, it's critical to start having conversations about inclusivity as early as kindergarten, to expose them to diverse cultures, languages, and the concept of ability/disability so that they begin to perceive and do things as normal rather than as something different that necessitates a certain type of behaviour or orientation. To truly become "wide in orientation and perspective," we must actively seek out those who appear to be different from us at first.

A few examples of teaching inclusivity to children:

For all concerned stakeholders, the advantages of inclusion can be enormous. Children can discover the true meaning of inclusivity by using the easy activities and advice presented, which includes looking into someone's eyes, seeing their humanity, and understanding their heart rather than getting stuck on differences. Furthermore, they learn to acknowledge their and other's strengths and weaknesses along with learning the concepts of teamwork and collaboration. 

Every individual requires this ability to modify and adapt in order to acquire good interpersonal skills and live in harmony. Such an attitude aids in mutual understanding and can resolve the bulk of relationship issues that exist in today's world. Children's emotional intelligence is developed in this way.
