[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whenever my kids observe differences (skin color, disability, etc) we always say "yup. everyone is different, no big deal", pointing out differences in our own family. It is a phase. I'd downplay it for now. [/quote] If you read the chapter in Nurture shock, you will find that the research shows that this is not enough. You need to be much more explicit and specific if you want your child to be truly open about race. I haven't discussed it much yet with my kids but this thread reminded me to do so.[/quote] What else does it recommend? We do acknowledge differences, but don't dwell on it because we don't want to put any weight on it. [/quote] You need to affirmatively tracy yiur familiY values about it. If you don't they will pick up ideas from outside, and they may not be good ideas.[/quote]
