My daughter, at 5 years of age, was cornered in the school yard by another little girl and a little boy. The little girl said to my daughter, "You're black and you're bad!" To which my daughter responded, "Actually, I'm peach and brown and I'm beautiful."

It's all in the messages we send our children....racism and intolerance will die when we, as parents, stop teaching it.

It's never too late to have a happy childhood!
