Racism

A child develops a sense of self-identity gradually.  As Harold Proshansky and Reggy Newton point out, the preschool and elementary school years are generally recognized as the crucial period of growth and differentiation of the child’s feeling about self. Children have racial awareness by the age of 5. As children become aware of racial differences, researchers traditionally have reported that they also learn labels and responses associated with ethnic groups.
