[quote=Anonymous]Yes, it is normal. My child will describe people as having dark skin or light skin. If she starts making unfavorable comparisons regarding skin color (saying one color is better or prettier than another), or if she tried to infer other characteristics from skin color (people with light skin are like this), I intervene and talk through why those conclusions are wrong and also hurtful. But if my kid comes home and says “My new teacher has light skin and I made two new friends who have dark skin,” I say nothing. It’s just descriptive and right now she’s interested in skin color. She also tells me everyone’s gender.[/quote]
