How did I button this?

We were at the pool and my little girl be playing with another little girl who happen to be African American. The little girl was rough so I be watching them closely. She was shoving my daughter afterwards all of a sudden her mom and dad, also rough ppl be up in my daughter's facade yelling at her. I told her to come to me and asked her what be going on. First she lied to me and said she didn't know then she told me the truth and said the little girl be shoving her and she said, "Stop that you crazy little black girl" to her. I made her sit out for 9 minutes for lying and explained that I'm not punishing her for what she said, but for lying. I also said you shouldn't bring up the color of someone;s skin even if you are joking. She asked why and I said it make them mad b/c I really didn't know why. She asked why are they wacky that they are black? I said they aren't mad that they are black they a short time ago thought you were making fun of them. I lately didn't know what else to say.

Answers:    I conjecture you handled it resourcefully, but as far as the parents yelling at her...totally indecorous they should have come to you.
I suggest you were right but I also would hold talked to the other parents for yell at your child. That is not their place even if she said something offensive and hurtful. They should own talked to you.
you could/should hold said, it dosnt matter what society look like, or their skin color. and you should enjoy punished her for what she said. thats racism. you should teach her that if she have a problem, she shouldnt use mean words.
the other society were sulky by what your daughter said. I would have made my child apologize. I wouldn't own told her that she was simply being punished for lying but for both. Your daughter may not enjoy meant it the path they took it...and she needs to know that it sulky them
I believe you handled this situation surrounded by an adult deportment. For the age of your child, it was the best bearing to talk near her about it, for she seem to understand what you be saying even if she question it. She will grow more with your support this agency and always will want to come to you beside her questions..
I commend you on not taking this on near the parents, for it looks as if they would not of listened anyway, they have their mind made up already...
I dont think you be far off from doing the right article, perhaps you should hold stopped this little bit (the play shoving match, too lots kids get hurt at pools basis of slippery surfaces) before it get to the point it got to, conceivably talk to the parents when it adjectives started or had your daughter stir to a different area of the pool. Also MY CHILDREN WOULD GET PUNNISHED FOR MENTIONING RACE (not a rough punishment for the first time, but it wasnt right regardless perharps another few min of time out and good long chitchat with mom)! They inevitability to learn from the start that it isnt right to style guru someone by their color, or be mean or screech it at them, its racial and derogetory, I know your daughter doesnt take that as of yet (you inferior to mention her age) but I taught my kids from an impulsive age that skin color has no bearing... that they never say something similar to that to anyone! You need to describe her why it makes them upset and surface like she be making fun of them, tell them that it isnt nice to point that out. I can see you not wanting her to be punished for that contained by the first place, but at the same time why do you regard as we still have racism, because the chains own never been broken, I will admitt my mother within law is prejeduce and conceivably thats why Im so stern near my kids about it... but I grew up within Pekin Il, which still had a sign up until the mid 80's maxim all n****** must be out by sundown, it have been a widely famous prejudice town, and I think its time for it to adjectives stop. The younger we teach our kids to respect adjectives and understand see the better chance we hold of ending adjectives the racism in this country.

I am not clich¨¦ you are racist, I dont believe that at all. So when Im dictum in my post above please dont pocket it personally I am speaking of society contained by general
Overall, you did what you should enjoy done. However, I would have explained why what your daughter said be wrong a little more thoroughly. And you should speak about her that she isn't being punished "this time" for clich¨¦ it, but she will be punished for it "next time". It's perceptible she didn't understand what you be saying by her quiz. It seems close to you probably left her a short time confused. I would have said that it is wrong to comment on someone's skin color, even if you are playing around. I would have told her that everyone is unbelievably sensitive about that, and that it hurts people's atmosphere when someone does that to them. Just tell her that it simply isn't polite, freshly as she should not say distinctly that someone is fat, whether they give the impression of being that way to her or not. Give her something to compare it to that style. Then she's more likely to know.
You should have told the black girl's parents that she be shoving your daughter.You wimped out.
