Hi Kimme
Thanks for your interest in our little girl. All of the advice given on the forum we were already doing in one form or another. I have to say articles in Nursery World were very sterotypical and not particularly helpful (sorry) actually looked through a nursery world and out of 50 odd pictures of children/families and only found a couple that showed children from different backgrounds and can't say they were positive. It highlighted to me why this child would feel like she does, and how careful we need to be. On a positive point we have arranged for her and her family to attend sessions through the local authority. They will be attending a family conference to discuss what needs to change for the child and then she will be doing some one to one work on her self esteem. not sure that it is just her ethnicity but goes deeper. Watch this space. Thanks everyone who tried to help.
