My baby brother who is 6 years old just began school this year…about 1 week ago. He is in the first grade anyway there is a little boy whom he befriended while in the kindergarten who is of a different race. Anyway this year my brother was excited to see the boy in his 1st grade class but to his dismay the little boy made some skin color jokes and said some not nice racial things to him. I have tried to explain to my brother that the little boys parents must be teaching him these things at home and not to be upset…I also suggested he find some other friend to play with. This is making him very upset he states that everyday he begs little boy to play with him but the little boy degards him and makes him feel worse. Today my brother came home and stated that he “hates” this other race of people and that they are all crazy. I dont want for that to be his outlook on life. When/if you were ever faced with this type of problem. How did you encourage the child and solve the problem? Thank
