I have a new baby enrolled to start right away, so we had a little meet and greet with the dayhome kiddos Friday afternoon. I had told them earlier in the day we had a new baby girl coming for a visit and how absolutely adorable she is! Well I brought her into the playroom and one DCG who is 6 got a look of disgust on her face and simply said "she's black??" Then proceeded to make comments on how she doesn't think she's cute and so forth...those "comments" were immediately shut down!!! Then the 5yr old sister starts kicking at baby and saying "ewww get away, ewww get away" Obviously these siblings are learning this racist behavior at home! I never imagined that parents would still be planting this hogwash in their kids heads, like come on it's almost 2014!! They were quick to tell their parent that there was a new kid today and all he responded with was "ya, I saw the mom". So I guess, I'am looking for suggestions on how to bring this up un-accusingly to the parents? At this point I'am so disappointed that if the dad pulls them, then fine by me!! I will take a sweet baby over bratty part time school kids any day!!!! Has anyone ever experienced this in their home? The last time I had to give someone shit for their racial slur behavior was my father in-law and it didn't go well...! haha
Sorry for the rambling rant!! TIA!
