Living through some rough situations with a special needs cousin and nephew, that should never have been a situation to start with, I could not agree with this more!!! Also donโt play the out of site out of mind card! This world is too full of educational options that you can always teach your children. Also goes for the less fortunate also๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ
So I would like to expose a situation. If your children (or grandchildren) donโt learn to play with children with special needs at school, maybe you should spend 10 minutes tonight explaining it to them. Because, although they don't currently live with these children at school, they will find them in their lives for sure. In light of recent events regarding the exclusion of a child with autism from attending a school trip and a child with Down Syndrome being expelled from dance class because she couldn't keep up with it, I feel the need to share this. There are boys and girls that no one invites to birthday parties. There are special children who want to be part of a team but are not selected because it's more important to win than to include these children. Kids with special needs aren't weird, they just want what everyone wants: to be accepted!
Can I ask a question? Is there anyone willing to copy and paste this post on their wall without sharing it, like I did, for all the special children out there? Please teach your children to be kind to these children! Everyone needs love and kindness.
I copied and pasted this with no hesitation! ๐...we all need this reminder.
