Okay so I was observing my little cousin today. I see how he is being raised and the difference from my god daughter. This entry is going to be about the difference between raising bi-racial kids in a dominant area vs. a same racial kid in a dominant area. The two children I have been observing are my god daughter who has parents of the same race, and being raised in a home with her grandmother and mother, yet she does still have contact with her father most everyday. The second child is my little cousin who has a father who is black and a mother who is white. He is being raised in a predominantly white town in Binghampton New York. The differnce I have observed is that my little cousin is disciplined in a totally different way than my god daughter. I only realized this is because it amazed me to see the results in their behavior. Even though the are about a year apart you can tell the difference in their behavior. I look at my little cousin and I see that when he is disciplined he is not hit, his mother does not believe in hiting children, his father has a different opinion but restrains from giving him a spanking. When they discipline him he is sat down and spoken to like he is her equal. They explain to him what he did wrong and why it is wrong rather than saying that’s wrong and don’t do it again.
My goddaughter is different she is not disciplined the same way. When she does something wrong she knows its wrong and she would rather have you come after her yelling than to stop. They don’t hit her a lot but they do give her a spanking every now and then. Her father screams at her and in return she gets angry and just acts up more. I see the difference also in the fact that my little cousin lives with both parents and my goddaughter lives with her mom and grandmother even though her parents are still together.
