[quote=Anonymous] Ok -- let me be clear, I do not believe that emphatic suggests yelling, shaming, screaming, or being mean. By, emphatic I mean very clear, very straightforward, and that this is a very important topic. To me, the subject of how we talk about and think about people is just as important as safety issues, does anyone think being emphatic about safety issues is wrong? I was emphatic with my child about this issue, and we have an open dialogue. It started when DC was a preschooler. I truly do not understand your line of thinking -- it really baffles my mind.[/quote] I think this group in this post is arguing over nothing. Or semantics. I don't think there is a group that is being wishy-washy with their kid about racism and promoting unacceptable behavior/thoughts, nor do I think there is a person browbeating about racism and promoting shaming. You are all probably doing about the same thing with your kids but using different words to describe it.[/quote]
