[quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why this is a big deal. “Some people think that boys and girls [or whatever groups] can’t do the same things. I disagree. I think boys and girls can both be X.” I use this formula to explain concepts like this. It’s very simple and doesn’t try to over explain. For race, I avoid labels like white or black for my preschooler because he doesn’t know what that means. I say “people with darker skin” or whatever. “Some people say… Other people think…” is also how I explain things to my middle schooler. [/quote]
