Help with my neighbors and my kids- want to fight?
Mixed neighborhood- 12 houses on my cul de sac and we have 1 Mexican family, 1 Korean family, 1 Phillipino family, 1 Indian family, several kinds of caucasion and the newest addition 9 months ago was a black family. Our kids play together, go to school together, have sleep overs and ask innocent and intelligent questions of each other about our different cultures- it has been wonderful!
My problem is one of the families have kids that cry racism every time there is a disagreement. They have older kids that have verbally threatened my kids(and others on the street) and encourage the younger ones to fist fight when there is a disagreement. I've tried to talk to the parent but the parent doesn't seem too interested in what goes on with the kids on the street.
I've taught my kids to "take a break then talk it out" and most of the kids around here know this. They come to my door when there is a problem, but lately it has gotten very heated and divided. Any suggestions???
