We are a white family in a primarily hispanic neighborhood. I love all of my neighbors and the area is very safe. Problem is that I am concerned that their self esteem may be risked because they are the only white kids on the block.

Dont worry about it. I have found that Hispanics are generally not concerned with race unless you are. And they are VERY family oriented. Id be more worried about them hanging out with white kids.

If you had said it was an unsafe area I would say move, but from what you say it is safe and you like your neighbours. The kids will be fine if you or the neighbourhood don't make race an issue. In this day and age colour shouldn't affect their esteem.

Their self-esteem will probably be fine. If the other children mistreat them because they are white, then moving may be something to think about. They may even become fluent in Spanish.

I am sure they will be fine. I think that them being exposed to different people is good, I don't think that it will hurt their self esteem or anything

their self esteem is going to come from you. if you raise them up to know themselves, have good morals and values and tell and TREAT them like they are important, valuable people - they will be fine.
