Coping with racism, classism and sexism

Abstract

At its most essential level, the child care process is an experience in human relations. As such, the interpersonal behaviors that are manifested in the child care setting are likely to reflect the social structural realities of the broader society. Since America continues to be a society plagued by racial, socioeconomic and sex discrimination, we must realistically expect these behavioral aberrations to be reflected in those settings where child care is provided.
