What My Mom Did or Didn’t Teach Me Giveaway
My mom loves to knit and does beautiful work. She was kind enough to donate these 4 fashionable scarves for a giveaway. You can win one and it’s easy. Just make a comment about:
something your mom taught you,
something your mom didn’t teach you but you wished she would have,
something your mom taught you that you wished she wouldn’t have,
or, anything you want to say about mom’s.
Now get thinking and get your comment posted by April 29 (9:00 MST).
Thanks to my friend Marion for letting me use her as the model.
I’ll start things out by saying that I appreciate my mom teaching me to knit. We even took some classes together. When I knit my first sweater I really relied on her to help me when I didn’t have a clue what I was doing.

It’s amazing how children absorb societal stereotypes, even if we avoid them at home. Children are aware of racial differences by the time they’re preschoolers. And by the age of 12, children have developed an image of most racial or ethnic groups in America.
Only by actively challenging stereotyping can we help our children overcome the lessons they may inadvertently learn from friends, television, and even textbooks.
The Words You Need
Here are some ideas to help you talk with your kids about stereotypes.
