A motivating discussion is worth comment. I think that you ought to write more about this topic, it might not be a taboo matter but generally people don't speak about such issues. To the next! All the best!! Have a look at my web-site :: drag and drop

I comment when I appreciate a article on a website
or if I have something to add to the conversation. Usually it’s
triggered by the sincerness communicated in the post I looked at.
And on this article How Early Should We Talk to Our Children About Race?

|SpanglishBaby™. I was actually excited enough to leave a
comment I do have a couple of questions for you if it’s okay.
Could it bee simply me or does it look as if like a few of these comments appear as if they are left
by brain dead folks? And, if you are posting at other online sites, I would like
to keep up with you. Would you make a list
every one of all your shared sites like
your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

You know how I feel about this topic. As early as possible and as they can handle is how early we should talk to children about race. I haven’t watched this series, but really need to. Race has been a conversation in our house for a long time, in one way or another. I’m not saying you have to give lots of complicated information, but making kids aware even early-on, and providing them the info that they need for their appropriate stage/age, will help them understand more complicated topics later. And, as you saw for yourself, even without talking about it, the ideas enter their little heads. So, better you’re the one to introduce them to it, no?

Wow!! Brought tears to my eyes! I am a white mama of two white bio girls and one bi-racial girl who is adopted. Plus I am a big sister to 3 African American girls. Thank you SO much for this article. I will be sharing!

Wow! This is an interesting article that struck a chord! I will be watching Anderson Cooper’s show tonight. I’m 1/2 Puerto Rican and 1/2 Ecuadorian, born in NY and raised in PR since I was a teenager until adulthood. So I really identify myself as a Puerto Rican. I’m married to a Black man, and of course we have a handsome, well-rounded, happy & smart 3 1/2 yr. old. We live in a small college town in South Carolina, predominantly Black and we do belong to a Mommy/Kiddie play group with some Black and White children. At daycare he’s the only mixed kid. In an effort to teach my son where he comes from I made this “heritage board”. We went on from where he was born, where Mami and Papi were born; (with the US map, PR, and South American Map) we put pics of us up, and glued some other pics of maps, and things typical to the region (flags, mango from PR, Tainos, Palmetto tree from SC, etc.)
When explaining to him that Mami was Latina and that Papi was Black… making him Black and Latino, he laughs and says “Momma, my shirt has black lines not me!” I laughed too, and left it there. This just comes to show that my child is indeed “color blind” he doesn’t see Black, White, or any other color in people. So I have to differ on children being “color blind”, I guess since he’s just too young. I’ve bought several books age appropriate that talk about “race” and “diversity”. Being Latina, I stand out, and my child being multiracial will also stand out. I don’t want him to come one day crying because someone told him something mean about his color or identity; and he didn’t know how to respond. I want him to answer ignorant questions with wise answers about his heritage, and where he comes from. In the end, this is all I care about.

This is a great post. It is true, a lot of us won’t talk to our kids about race because we are not really sure if they understand. I think I will be watching this show. It sounds very interesting. Thank you!
