From Delish Reality star and mother of three Kourtney Kardashian says she's committed to having tough, "uncomfortable" conversations with her kids about race and injustice. Kourtney called on other parents—particularly other white parents—to educate themselves about their own privilege and to pass those lessons on to their children, too. Kourtney Kardashian knows that some of the toughest conversations parents have with their kids are also the most vitally important. For white parents in particular, having frank, honest conversations about around race, privilege, and injustice may be uncomfortable, but they're also absolutely necessary. In a new Instagram post, she outlined her own commitment to have those conversations—even when doing so means fighting a natural instinct to shield her kids from the darker parts of the world. The reality star and mother of three also encouraged other parents to join her continuing to educate their children and, importantly, themselves...

Editor's note: Find the latest COVID-19 news and guidance in Medscape's Coronavirus Resource Center. More evidence has linked the Kawasaki-like multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children to COVID-19 and suggests that black children have a greater risk of the condition, according to a study published in the BMJ. A small observational study in Paris found more than half of the 21 children who were admitted for the condition at the city's pediatric hospital for COVID-19 patients were of African ancestry. "The observation of a higher proportion of patients of African ancestry is consistent with recent findings, suggesting an effect of either social and living conditions or genetic susceptibility," wrote Julie Toubiana, MD, PhD, of the University of Paris and the Pasteur Institute, and colleagues. The findings did not surprise Edward M. Behrens, MD, chief of the division of rheumatology at Children...

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The disturbing video of George Floyd is leading to many difficult conversations for families across the country. But experts say these talks are necessary and need to take place early and more often. Seven-year-old Aiden is a fun-loving and curious kid, but his mother Imani Osei-Acheampong worries that in today's society, not everyone sees him that way. This week, they've had to discuss the video of George Floyd. "I think he's asking the question that everybody asked, and that's why," Osei-Acheampong says, "and that's what I've been having to explain to him, why, and why is racism is a big thing in America." Dr. Nia Heard-Garris studies racism and its impact on children at Chicago's Lurie Children's Hospital. She says vicarious or secondhand racism can lead to anxiety, depression, and feelings of isolation. "When the victim looks like you, you may carry a heavier burden in that, and thinking, that cou...

Evan and Noah are brothers who live in Watts with their mom, Angel Clayton, their auntie and their grandmother. Evan is 12 and just finishing sixth grade. Noah, 9, is about to finish fourth. I met the boys in May. They were having trouble doing their schoolwork during the coronavirus shutdown because they didn't have laptops. After a friendly prosecutor bought them Chromebooks, things started looking up. When we videochatted Monday, their report cards had just landed. "All A's!" said Evan. They don't play outside, they told me when I first met them, because their neighborhood is not safe. It's not just that there is a lot of gang activity around them. They also had a neighbor, now deceased, who used to shoot up their garage. They never called the police on him, though. "You are pretty much raised not to call the police because they bring more trouble than you had before," Clayton told me. In the wake of the killing of George Floyd, I wanted to know...

Actor Josh Gad is spending quarantine by reuniting the casts of his favorite nostalgic movies — but the project is not self-serving. Gad's digital series "Reunited Apart," has brought together the stars of "Back to the Future," "The Goonies" and "Splash" — and each episode benefits a different charity. "When lockdown started, I felt really at a loss of what I could do to help others, because I sort of fell into a deep depression," Gad told CBS News. The dad of two said he used to go to his daughter's school every Friday and read books to the kids. When schools closed, he felt robbed of that. So, the "Frozen" actor started to read to kids online. "After a while, I felt so blessed to have that opportunity, but also started to realize a lot of other personalities had started doing the same thing," Gad said. Gad also wanted to raise money for important causes to have wider impact. So he created "...
