The idea is nonsense. Children are keen students of difference. We are pack animals and they want nothing more than to conform to the norm and that often means shunning or marginalising those who do not.Originally Posted by Monty92
I guess it's to encourage kids to realise that people who don't look or act 'normal' should be treated with the same respect as those that do.
Unfortunately, a recent encounter between my 3-year-old (who has a Nigerian childminder) and a black family at the soft play centre proved that exposure does not necessarily always have the desired effect

Did your son scream the place down when confronted by schwartzers?
