It is a shame that kids treat other kids differently not just because of a disability but even because one is better looking than another. It is important to teach our kids why this is bad.

Kim,

Thanks for stopping by. Sad yes – but it was totally natural and if I had a stranger approach me I’d be thinking the same thing! You are on target though with thinking you go too far in the other direction – stay tuned as we’ll be answering more of those questions that I can tell are rattling around in your head

That is so sad that she thought you were going to ask her to move! I try not to do the rude staring & often wonder if I go too far in the other direction, trying not to be rude…

I’m so glad I stepped out of my box and spoke with Jamie – it was a great chat and lesson for the both of us I’m sure! That’s the point of the Judging Before Asking series – I want to ask the questions many of us are thinking but afraid to ask!

Great job Alaina! I didn’t know you had a special needs child. You showed great courage, and you certainly were straight forward with your questions! Those are the kinds of things I would be to shy to ask.

Yes! I love that Jamie isn’t offended but instead uses the chance to show kids to be kind! Love it! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
