Can one really make a guide to raising a biracial child?

I have been thinking about this. Its normal for people to like guides, lists, and how to books about how to do something. Buying several books that can give you ideas for fun, but realizing it all sucks. Buying books that tell you how to be positive. Then there are the books about hair.

Books are great for knowledge, and ideas. But they are not so great for the experience.That is why one can read a thousand books on hair and still be bad at it.

Some say, usually those who are parents of mono-racial kids, or are mono-racial in general, that raising a biracial kid is no different than any other.

Thats something a colorblind racist would say. And quite frankly, its not so true. Yes, for the most part you want to instill the same morals and life lessons in them, but when you raise a biracial child, you have to deal with the displeasure of raising them to have a strong identity.

What makes it hard to make "how to" guides is that raising a child is different based on location, finances, the parents in the child's life, etc.

Some white parents realize that raising a child of color means they can no longer themselves mentally live in the white world. While some parents refuse to leave the white world, and raise their child in it without aiding them in the fact that they aren't white and will not be accepted by white society.

Some parents know to try to learn about hair, culture, etc. While other parents don't bother.

Some biracials have grown up fine being raised in the white world and not knowing how to do their hair as a result of not being taught as a child, mostly because at some point in their own lives they came to the realization that they are a minority and took it upon themselves to learn their culture, hair etc.

The problem with going by a book or guide or advice column is that they are devoid of emotion, and they do not know the specific problem, they can only stay in a general sense.

The only advice that can be given, is that its not as easy raising biracials as it is mono-racials, that you will as a parent have to take the initiative to find what you need for your child, learn the hair, find rolemodels, teach them all their history, etc.

The colorblind theory will only hurt them, you have to raise them racially aware because society is racially aware.

Its for the best of the child that the parent exists the white world.
