Children+Ethnic+Awareness,+and+Prejudice

-Ethnic awareness is defined as being conscious recognition of ethnicity in individuals or groups, and being able to assign correctly the labels to the actual faces of pictures of various people indicates a basic form of perceptual ethnic awareness. - Among young children ethnic awareness and prejudice tend to increase with age. -To recognize differences in others, a child must also be involved in self-identification because the child must be aware of what he or she is like before recognizing how another child differs. - Children are influenced by what those around them think, do, and say. Even when parents model tolerance, children may still be exposed to the racist behaviors of others.
