[quote=Anonymous]I think it might be as easy as what a previous poster said--it might be easier to meet the families once everyone is playing outside. We used to live in a really diverse neighborhood and it was easier to meet on the playground or on Saturday mornings when I'd take the kids to ride their bikes or scooters in the elementary school parking lot. These parents might need to see your smiling face and see the connection between their kid and yours to feel comfortable. I don't think you need to completely learn another language--I love how people throw that out like it is so easy -- but being open to learning a few words can be endearing. FWIW, now we live in a neighborhood that is far less diverse, and I'm kind of feeling like these white people are hard to get to know, too. I guess the grass is always greener. [/quote]
