Way too many people...I am so glad you said this. <br /><br />Way too many people with SN children have chips on their shoulder and get angry and insist that their child is "no different" and anyone who dares to notice a difference is somehow bad or evil for using the faculties that God gave them to discern that a child is not the same as his or her peers.<br /><br />There's nothing wrong with being different--that should be the message. We should all love and help one another, even the ones who aren't normal, or typical, or average, or different. THAT should be the lesson, not a fake "pretend not to notice" attitude.La Strarrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889327617090577849.post-77925260796966310972010-08-19T17:37:11.416-05:002010-08-19T17:37:11.416-05:00I have a child who is not special needs in the way...I have a child who is not special needs in the way that Grace is, but has challenges and parenting him has been a lot of effort --when he was small, I remember saying something to the effect of well, I hope I don't treat him as less of a person because of his challenges, or in his sister's eyes as more valuable than her because we spent more time interacting with him, but if I don't at least acknowledge his challenges, how in the world do expect him to work to overcome them?sarainoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889327617090577849.post-57590155672351507382010-08-18T21:05:52.144-05:002010-08-18T21:05:52.144-05:00Yes, today was another trip to the dentist for us ...Yes, today was another trip to the dentist for us because my little one fell and didn't get his hands down in time to brace himself...I do get it and it is quite irritating when even those closest to you do not.

My father recently said, very proud of himself, "I never think of the fact that Jonah has cerebral palsy. He's just like any other kid." I told him that I wished I had the luxury to do think that. He didn't get it.<br /><br />You summed it up perfectly. Thank you!<br /><br />TaraTarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09474725978514281212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889327617090577849.post-68841725071622449002010-08-17T23:10:38.152-05:002010-08-17T23:10:38.152-05:00Amen to that, sister!Amen to that, sister!ferfischerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00184449747019920745noreply@blogger.com
