My son (who is 5) asked me today why I look so different to him. He wonders why his skin colour is not the same as mine. As far as he is concerned, if you are brown, you should have a brown mummy and if you are white, a white mummy.
It is a great opportunity to explain things to him but I want to strike the right balance as I don't want to confuse him or overload him with ingo.
