I recommended the whole book to my Social Psych students for all the insights.<br />I am ashamed, though, that I wasn't brave enough to broach the race discussion with my 6-year-old as you have. And you did it so beautifully.<br />Your kids (and you) are wonderful!wesleyjeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11375402752869858172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003566511242003677.post-27230562044652711662011-03-21T19:30:40.904-04:002011-03-21T19:30:40.904-04:00Darcy, this is an amazing post.

It's so interesting to hear such raw observations about race and other big life topics. My son, who is also 5, has asked why some kids in his class have brown skin and some have light skin. I give him the standard answer that people come in all colors and sizes, but reading your post makes me think I should start probing a little more to see what he feel about it. Also great to hear more kudos for NutureShock - it's a fascinating book and has become our go-to resource for applicable developmental questions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003566511242003677.post-79920187390080839612011-03-17T13:35:54.618-04:002011-03-17T13:35:54.618-04:00Thanks everyone!

Margie - F's love is really cute and really nice, quite the pick. the only problem is he's moving to Hawaii, so F keeps asking questions like "will he find another love?" (seriously) to which Dan and I respond "he isn't even 6, so YES he will find another love."Darcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06751860223320893192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003566511242003677.post-37552805323255815922011-03-17T10:05:51.571-04:002011-03-17T10:05:51.571-04:00Love this post!

I was thinking about how I'm going to broach the race issue with Jack when he's a little older, and you just gave me some great ideas!Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836650447564710142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003566511242003677.post-90298802660175020302011-03-17T09:56:10.153-04:002011-03-17T09:56:10.153-04:00I love this post!

It kind of makes me want one. Secondly, I love the way they are open and positive about race. When some white people say "I don't see race" it makes me cringe. xo KFrau Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681618108458612167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003566511242003677.post-78426952290986429522011-03-17T09:15:42.026-04:002011-03-17T09:15:42.026-04:00Fascinating!
