[quote=Anonymous][quote=catacttag]Asking as an immigrant Asian parent- what should we do so our children feel at home here? I have two kids under age 7 and they attend public schools. Sometimes, we initiate play dates with non-Asian kids and we are part of the community swim team. I ask this because as parents we naturally gravitate towards other Asians as we have a lot more in common and the conversations are more spontaneous. [b]Children don't seem to have an issue mingling well with everyone. [/b]But we don't want our self-segregating behavior to rub off on them. Please let me know how you helped your kids or if you are first-gen yourself, please share what you did to blend well. [/quote]

Follow the example your children have set. They don’t have issues mingling with everyone because they are neither judging them nor themselves. Everyone is a person even if they look different and have grown up with different experiences. If you keep an open mind and are kind, you will have no issues blending in. [/quote]
