How do you teach your kids to love everyone?
I want my kids to see no race, gender, religion, or sexual preference or another things that make people different. I want them to know everyone is different and thats what makes each of us special. I don’t want them to discriminate for any reason. I teach my children all of the words in other languages that I know. I buy my daughter any type of baby she wants. She has just as many white babies as she does black and Hispanic baby dolls. She has dolls of all hair color and eye color. I could not imagine teaching my children to hate for any reason.
Why don’t more parents try to teach love rather than hate? My kids have friends of all shapes and sizes. My husband has a friend that is african american and the kids call him uncle. I couldnt imagine being that cruel to deny my children love from and for any one person.
The bad news is that not everybody feels the way that you do.
Sooner or later, somebody else is going to teach your kids some things that you would not want them to know.
Some “different” person will mistreat your kids, and they will begin to think that all people with that difference are bad.
It is only human to do so.
My daughter never heard the “N” word at home. I was quite shocked when she came home from school in the fifth grade and asked what an “N” was.
At that time, we lived in a very different culture among people with whom I have always identified. Their children treated my daughter badly. She still has friends among them, but very few.
They treated me badly also. I was shocked at first.
I did not expect anybody to hug and kiss me, but was not prepared for some of the ill treatment I got. I gradually came to realize that they did not feel the same about me as I felt about them.
I still have friends among these people, but will never go back to work with them or live among them again.
