Talking to my child about race *help* - Page 2

* (didn't realize this was the multicultural forum, and my insights, while I thought they were pretty good, were coming from a pretty white place)

Just reading this thread and as usual, I agree with Missy. I would recommend a book entitled, Shades of Black. While it is geared toward raising the self-esteem of black children, I think the message is relevant for any child learning to appreciate difference. It's a fun and sends a positive yet subtle message. Good luck Kama!

I haven't read these, but once tutored a third grader who was very enamored of the American Girl series.

I remember really like how Beverly Daniel Tatum discussed race with her son in her book: "Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?": A Psychologist Explains the Development of Racial Identity.


(I'd summarize, but I have boobie brain and it's inhibiting my recall function.)
