[quote=Anonymous]My Nephew was discussing slavery at his Pre School when he was 4. He lived in Brooklyn. He was out walking with his Mom one day and started pointing to African Americans and told his Mom that they had all been slaves. SIL was mortified. I understand her being mortified and suspect that there were some upset people that day but that most people figured that with the white 4 year old either had racists for parents or that the kid was learning about Slavery during Black History Month and didn't quite grasp the concept properly.

Kids repeat what they hear, and learn, and need to be corrected from time to time.

Remind him that we don't discuss peoples bodies and that what other people eat or do to exercise is none of his business. And it is OK to call him on it in public. I remind my kid, and his friends if they are doing it when I am watching them, that they only need to worry about their actions and behavior. I don't need to know who got what on their quiz or did what during class. I want to hear if there is something happening that is hurting someone or planning to hurt someone. Other then that, there is no need to comment on how other people look, act, smell (he is 6 so yeah), and the like. It is not kind nor is it necessary.[/quote]
