poland.

should I look at things from poland eg the flag?

I thought maybe at some point they could make a polish flag?
do you think that would be ok? I dont want to single him out as it will only be him (6 years old) and my sone of the same age. then you will have my daughter who is 2 years (all be it going on 16)

Maybe not right away but you could ask him/her about what they know about their culture and if they are interested in learning anything else or teaching you anything. If so it will probably open up loads of subjects you could cover. Good Luck.

And if you dont want to single him out them why not talk about lots of flags with the two of them. Talk about people coming form different countries and languages , food, climate etc?

Just had a thought - sorry to hi-jack - is it appropriote to point out skin colour? i mean when talking about people from hot climates such as africa having black skin or are you supposed to wait for them to ask?

one of my mindees is half german, i think its good to have children from different cultures/countries, makes things more interesting and good for the children learning about other countries too
