RE: TIPS For Raising Kids With Disabilities

in #parents6 years ago

Thank you! & yes, treating them the same as every other kid is the most important thing for them. It teaches them that they ARE capable and it teaches them not to dwell on their disabilities. But it also teaches acceptance. If a child sees you treating a disabled child like a baby, then he/she will follow suit and treat the disabled child as if he or she is incapable of things because of their disability. But just because it takes them longer and they may need to take extra steps to accomplish something - doesn't mean they aren't still capable of doing so. & yes, zach anner is pretty awesome lol this video is the first time I've seen his content. I follow Kristina Kuzmic on other social media & just happened upon this gem of a video!
