Not quite on the subject, but I (hearing) am also in training to be an Intervention Specialist and following the discussion. Great advice for us novices. Shel and Skywalker, I have 3 mixed race children B/W also, (2 grown, 1 at home) and can only remember one or two incidents of significant discrimination, and they handled them with class. Mostly, the've been loved, accepted, one was H. S. class president, etc, grounded in respecting others and knowing who they are, and for our family covered by Grace. So, Shel, if I may offer this, don't spend too much time worrying about this...you sound very grounded too and I'm sure this will be transferred to your child.
