Philip and Julie are an African American couple with a young daughter, Allie, who is attending a new school this fall. The school is located in the predominantly white neighborhood in which they have bought a house. During her young life, Allie has interacted with mostly African American children and families in a loving and supportive environment. Her parents are concerned about the potential for racism at the new school and seek advice from a counselor about how they can prepare her for her new environment. Because Philip and Julie have created a buffer zone in which Allie can develop without harmful intrusions, the counselor can assure them Allie will experience greater emotional health and stability than she would have otherwise. Is this statement true or false?
