[QUOTE="buddy, post: 485272, member: 12886"] That is an excellent point. I love the book I'm Chocolate, You're Vanilla, because it was written by a Black Psychologist (she chooses those identifiers) and she wrote it to explain to Black parents how development of awareness of color and use of race/ethnicity words develop. She wanted to reassure Black parents that when their kids said I'm not black, that they were not rejecting their race. In the end, the book was a good tool for any teacher, parent etc. of a child who is not the majority. It shows how kids become aware of differences, how they process it, and developmentally appropriate stages of understanding the colors of the world. Not exactly your issue, but I thought I'd add it because it is a little piece of his life that is important. The fitting in, and cultural issues... you have discussed this before and it is important. You seem to feel that too since you say you are considering options. Lots to think of Malika. He is lucky to have you. [/QUOTE]
