If you havent heard of it, this blog has gone viral after a Mothers public plea to Parents to not just ignore and be embarrassed by their children expressing discomfort at someone who is different or has a #disability, but to take action. As a mother of a child who looks different this is my plea to you: If you are the parent whose child says another child looks funny or scary, don’t simply say “That isn’t a nice thing to say”. While you are right, it’s not nice, simply saying that and walking away still isolates my child. The next time follow that statement up and tell your child, “I’m sure he’s a very nice boy, let’s go meet him”. Please, come introduce yourself and ask my child’s name. I assure you, we don’t bite! My child is just like yours, he can be sweet, loving, throw temper tantrums, and be a handful. And I assure you, I am just like you, I am a parent learning my way through this. Its gone viral for a reason, so have a read and if it speaks volumes to you like it has to us - Please pass it on!!
