Be aware of advertising and toys aimed at children. It is amazing the number of blond haired blue eyed dolls made for children. Dark skin or dark hair among the doll population indicates a lesser being. Many of the play products aimed at little girls are fashion and make-up oriented. Talk back to the television.
Passivity is our worst enemy.
Talk back to the T.V. when you disagree, and teach your children to do so. Write letters, they do have an impact, and include your children in your actions. Do not allow doctors or teachers to make harmful statements about or in front of your children unchallenged. Questioning them will help your children to develop the skills of making up their own mind in the face of outside pressure, as well as showing them that there is not just one way to see anything. Support your children in standing up for themselves.
