[quote=Anonymous]OP, I tink you need to step back and ask yourself what your goal is in these conversations.  if the children who say these things are not going to be regulars in your DD's life, for example if you aren't going to see them regularly at the pool, then you don;t need to teach them. What you do need to do is teach your DD how to react and accept these conversations.  So everything you say in response to these children should be aimed at your DD and not really them.  They are there for the lesson for your DD. When my DS was young and saw a person with an obvious disability (my DS has an ASD) he would say "thats how God made him."  I don't know where he got that line, but it worked for us.  if it works for you, you can use it. or some other line that acknowledges and accepts her difference so that hopefully that is the message she takes.

Of course if these kids are in her life on a regular basis you probably should tell them what is rude and what is acceptable.  I would do this gently because your DD is watching and you don't want her to take anger from the interaction, especially if she is non verbal and would have trouble expressing the anger.[/quote]
