HOWEVER, we know that in Iraqi culture, that male superiority is a big deal and this sounds like a demonstration of it. In our setting, we're faith-based, so we can talk about the Bible and what it says, but not everyone has that option. In the real world, I'm a trainer. If this was a training issue, we might look at doing a focus group on the topic with a bunch of parents from the center to talk about loving our kids equally. I'd start off with with a role play clearly demonstrating favoritism with the teacher in the role of the parent and overexaggerating the actions of shunning to make a point, then talk about feelings. I wonder if the group dynamics could help influence her. It's a quandry. How have other out there handled this hot potato?
