Answer to Question 2

Researchers Quintana (1998) and Rabasca (2000) believe that children go through four
levels in developing an understanding of ethnicity and race. Between the ages of 3 and
6, children think about racial differences in physical terms. That is, they view race as
changeable. For example, they may think that a person could change race by having
surgery. From ages 6 to 10, children understand that race is related to ancestry and that
it can affect factors such as one's physical appearance and language. From ages 10 to
14, children become aware of connections between race and income. After age 14,
adolescents begin to take pride in their ethnic heritage. They may experience a sense
of pride in belonging to their ethnic group. Ages 6 to 14 appear to be the best time to
circumvent prejudicial attitudes by teaching children about people from different
cultures. Children of these ages tend to be more receptive to forming relationships with
children from different backgrounds than they are during the adolescent years.
