[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are talking about 3 and 4 yr olds here. I have a hard enough time teaching my 3 yr old to keep her clothes on all days. We live in a diverse city with people of all color that she sees regularly. We teach skin color comes in many shades and that’s about it for now. But she has never made a distinction. [/quote] Yep! The only distinction I’ve heard my 3 year old articulate to me is “Mommy, we’re girls and Daddy is a boy. And doggy is a boy.” The fact that people have different skin tones should be obvious to her; we live in a diverse small city and she goes to a majority-minority preschool. I scrolled through the pictures her preschool sends home and see zero pattern, race-wise, in the kids she plays with. I actually can barely find a picture of her playing with kids where all the kids are of the same race. That’s just the reality of her school. [/quote]
