In terms of educating kids about other communities.
Kids tend to think in absolute terms. Too many choices are not helpful- they need to have a strong identity and sense of belonging, pride in who they are, not confusion about different options.
Yet, that does not mean that they should not be aware that there are all types of Jews, with valid approaches to avodas Hashem, even if that approach is not one that is followed in their home/school. For starters, parents should not mock other types, put down other shitos. Also, it can be helpful to read books about other children from other backgrounds, living in different places, with different minhagim. I think it is healthy for a kid to grow up with the attitude, that this is the derech we have chosen to live by, this is the derech of our community, but other communities might have different derachim, and as long as we are all devoted to keeping Mitzvos and being ovdei Hashem, that is fine. Most kids will be happy to stay within their “box” , but for those kids who for some reason don’t fit the box, they will know that there are other legitimate boxes out there that may fit them better, and that their families will not think less of them if they choose a different box.
