If kids are old enough to ask they are old enough to have an answer (in my opinion) tho it probably needs modified to their "level" of grasping things. My kids had friends at one of my old townhome complexes had had 2 moms. The other kids treated those girls and their moms no diffrent than anyone else for the most part.(least I didn't see them treating them diffrent). I met the girls mothers and they were nice people. The father of the girls was a gay friend of theirs and he and his partner also would visit the girls. They seemed to be your average kids and well adjusted enough, etc. They just had 2 moms and 2 dads and were living with their moms.
I've taught my own kids to like people for who they are inside not the colour of their skin, religion, sexual prefrence, social status, etc. If they don't understand someones philosphies, religion, etc I've taught them to ask and try to not judge. I've tried to teach them we are all diffrent and have right to our own opinons that it is wrong to be mean, etc to those that are diffrent. Many of their friends are also fairly accepting. They come from a variety of religions, "prefrences," ability levels, philosphies, etc. |
