[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She’s 4. You seriously thought she knew not to do this??? Sorry to burst your awesome parenting bubble, but…SHE’S FOUR. She saw someone walking differently. It amused her. You’re acting as if she knew the woman was disabled.

Relax. [/quote]

Yes. I'm surprised because we have been doing what op said about teaching different types of diversity and bodied, and kindness.[/quote]

This is a perfect example of how when you only talk this game, it doesn’t work. The talking doesn’t matter it you don’t have any diverse friends.[/quote]
No, this is a perfect example of a 4 year old with no life experience not recognizing that someone was disabled. Which is ok, because the kid is FOUR. [/quote]

Tell me your circle is not diverse, without telling me your circle is not diverse.

It’s cool, though - keep talking to your kids. But we all know that kids don’t do what you SAY - they do what you DO.[/quote]

I just can’t get over your complete smugness in the face of your incorrect, idiotic assumptions. The one time I wish DCUM weren’t anonymous.[/quote]

Dp. This persons response to you was totally ridiculous and obnoxious. I think you did the right thing talking to her about it afterwards so she can learn. 4 year olds aren’t expected to be perfect or have a “diverse circle”. [/quote]

I’m not talking about the child’s circle.

You can talk all you want about diversity and how important it is. If YOUR circle, whatever that is, is not diverse - it’s just lip service. No matter how hard you protest on DCUM. And your kids know it. And they show it. No matter how embarrassed you are.[/quote]
