Many books and home-use guides are available to help parents teach children to be tolerant. Role-playing with children is also an excellent way to help them learn acceptance. Children feel safest in family surroundings where they physically comfortable. You and your child should visit school together. Pay special attention to bathrooms, playground areas and gyms, blackboards, water fountains, desks, chairs and lockers, to make sure that they are easily accessible to your child.
Children learn a great deal from their classmates.
Try to meet your child's school friends. Invite them to visit your home periodically to observe their play habits and interactions. Encourage your child to take part in sports and other activities that offer opportunities for constructive competition. Suggest that your child try many different activities to find those that provide the greatest satisfaction. Remember that your support and encouragement will be important.
