Excerpts:
 

Tolerance begins at home
There are many ways to teach children religious tolerance. But first, we must realize that our own attitudes and actions toward those of different faiths play a crucial role. Children are observant and catch even the subtlest stereotyping and discriminatory behaviors. Therefore, attitudes held in the home will have the strongest impact on the way children perceive those who are different.

Learning tolerance outside the home
Talk to your child’s school, as recommended by Tolerance.org, to make sure that textbooks and curriculums are up to date to reflect equity and multiculturalism.

Ask teachers and staff if and how they approach the task of teaching tolerance in the classroom. If the school or classroom doesn’t already include tolerance education in it’s program, try to help activate it. Ask if you can share ideas with staff, and learn other ways that you can assist the school in promoting positive attitudes toward diversity.
