"What can I do about terrified daughter?"
Daughter scared of blacks
Dear Aunties,
My daughter is terrified of black people. This is a little embarrassing for me as I am an equal opportunities consultant and a part time volunteer with OxFam.
However I've tried everything to cure my child's phobia but even an individual with a light tan causes her to break out in a sweat.
She is on the waiting list for CBT but it could be some months before she gets therapy. In the meantime it is extremely distressing for her to see a black person..
How can I protect my child without seeming racist to those around me?

P.S. She is also scared of homosexuals, Pakis, the mentally ill and the Irish.
