My daughter loved playing with their daughter, and they get along great. Shes a really good kid--respectful, doesnt get into trouble, and being 1 year older than mine, helps to keep her out of trouble sometimes even. My daughter obviously doesnt see color--doesnt think anything differently about her friend...and why would she? So what is the right way to approach this? Do i explain to her what racism is, who its against, that its wrong, and mean, etc.? I feel like that could lead to a situation where they get into an argument, and she says something mean about her skin color, thinking its a good way to hurt her feelings, not understanding the implications--kids are like that. Or do i wait until shes older? Shes 7 now...and im positive has not had any interaction or anything of the sort that would make her think of her friend, or black people in general, differently. Are we shooting ourselves in the foot by presenting these things, when there is no reason to? As a parent, this is a really difficult thing to figure out how to handle... Anyone with kids thought about this? --- ASUS B-150 Gaming MoBo| Intel CORE i5 6500k @ 3.5GHz | 32GB DDR4 | 2TB HDD | 600w PSU | nVidia GTX 1080Ti 11GB GDDR5-X ... Copied to Clipboard! |
