[quote=Anonymous]Kids can understand things better than most people give them credit for. Sometime around the time she's 3 or 4 I would say something like, 'Larla, you might have noticed that your skin is a different color from your brother Tony. This is because you are half Chinese. We wanted to tell you this because we want you to know how amazing your culture is. Tony is not Chinese because he had a different daddy than you do. Mommy and Daddy loved each other very much when they had Tony but they had a fight and didn't live together for a little while. Mommy fell in love with another man who is your biological daddy. Biological means you have some of his blood. But Daddy is your real daddy because he loves you and is going to love you for the rest of your life. We love you very much and now I want to read you this book about a little Chinese girl so you can learn a little bit about this part of you." And then just talk about it openly from there on out.
