My DH and I don't live in a very diverse town and we are trying to figure out ways to teach our DS (who's AA-we're CC) about his culture and to take pride in his culture as well. We've joined a parent support group for CC parents of AA children and are looking for a diverse church to join that's a good fit for our family. We're also planning (when the day comes) on putting our DS in some of the more diverse schools in the area (although, like I said, even those schools are primarily CC). I'm not the most creative person around and thought it'd be nice to hear ideas anyone else may have for how they're going to incorporate their child's culture/heritage into their family. The only other ideas we've thought of is, when DS is older, having one night each week where we eat food commonly enjoyed by his culture. I also thought about trying to get him a mentor of some kind that is the same race as him when he's older. We have a few friends that are the same race as him, but, truly, it's hard to meet a lot of people around here that aren't CC, so I don't think our social network is ever going to be a big source of strength for us in this area as much as we would like it to be. Does anyone else have any ideas or do anything in their family? I'd love to hear how other families celebrate their children's culture if it's different from their own.
