[quote=Anonymous]I know that you know you need to love and accept your son as he is, and I also know that's hard. But there's something more that I think you need to do, and it might be even harder. You need a better community. I don't mean moving (although that would be ideal) but you have problems on two axes, and both can be solved by broadening the folks your son is exposed to. 1) He needs to find an activity or a space where he is not quite such an outlier as a GNC boy. Since he's little, you need to find that space for him. Ballet? Theater? 2) You also need to find a space where he's not the only brown kid. He is being "othered" in two ways, and both of them can be helped by changing the communities with which he is interacting. [/quote]
