Teach your child to accept, embrace people's differences...

Good character includes seeing all people as equal. It means accepting people of all ethnic groups, religions and abilities. An open-minded child who respects all people will get along better in school.

Here's how to guide your child:

Describe the diversity in your child's own family background. Perhaps a grandmother came from Europe or Africa.

Explain empathy Ask your child, " How would you like people to treat you if you looked different from them? "

Teach your child to sign, " I love you " Find books on sign language for the deaf at the library.

Have your child clip out photos of people from old magazines. Talk about differences in size, hair color, skin tones and ages. Explain that all are equally worthy of love.

Take out library books that describe customs of various ethnic groups. Incorporate some into the next holiday.

Select library books that show people of all backgrounds and ages. Ask your child, " Wouldn't it be boring if we were all alike? "

Good thread :hug:

We don't have many color skins here in Germany but my children notice that we have different skin when we were at Chinese, Italian and Greek resturant, also US black soliders where I work, too. My children were shock when they saw too many color skins everywhere in England.

Danny asked me: "Are you against color skin"? I answer: No, why should I? Color skin is no important but their lovely personality. It about teach children to open mind about different skin colors and personalities.

:gpost: Thank you, ^Angel^ for posting this.

We being parents need to know that we are not only parents to our child/children but we are also their teachers.
 
That's right my dear Butterflygirl, we're also their teachers.. AMEN!! :hug:
 
Interesting! Thanks for posting this ^Angel^
 
I agree to teach them, also talk to them more, sometimes kids didnt ask when they have qq why, whats that e.t.c.
 
Shown the children good guidence right way.. instead bad way... teach them understand and open communcation easier..
 
My mom never taught me to hate anybody.

One time when I was 11 and I watched my mom's porn videotape... secretly.

And in nature I was gross out with people having oral sex.... And saw gays doing it...
And I couldn't look cause it was horrible.

Children are not stupid. They will judge.

My nephew when he was a toddler, he knew something is wrong with my face.
And then when he was 7, he saw a legless person, he was frightened.
and then he stared at biracial children and wondered why their skins and hair look funny.

Children are not stupid.
 
the one thing im going to teach my boys is to respect women, never harm them in any way and always love them for who they are inside.
 
Aww AJ! :hug:.....


And Thank you Everyone!!! :grouphug:
