[quote=Anonymous]At the park the other day, my 4yo son (half-white, half hispanic) was playing with a black girl. She was older than him and was taking toys from him and being a little pushy - all within the range of normal kid play, but I could see that my son was getting a bit frustrated. At one point he ran over to me and I asked him whether he wanted to keep playing where we were or go to the playground. He pointed to the playground and a white boy playing there and said "maybe we can play with that boy, he has the same color skin as us." I was caught off guard and sputtered something like "yes, people have all different colors of skin, and we can play with everyone" I don't know if I handled it correctly. My hope is that it was just an observation that he phrased weirdly bc he is 4. [/quote]
