Tolerance and Children

As children grow up, they are often exposed to and taught about the implications of tolerance across a broad range of social dynamics.  Using a child development theory of your choice, explain the advantages and disadvantages of promoting social tolerance among children under the age of 10.  In your initial post, you must present a balanced argument for both positions (for example, you cannot favor advantages over disadvantages or visa versa).

The purpose of this assignment is to investigate how social perceptions and influences affect developing children.
