"Whispers and hushes teach kids that there is something to be ashamed or quiet about. My son's limb difference is pretty obvious, and it's a part of who he is—it's not a negative–in fact, I think it actually makes him smarter and more adaptive. When you're out and about, just remember that most people think of what you see as "different" the same way you may think of your shoulder or your knee. It's just another part of their body…so just say "hi" and introduce yourselves. Let your kids ask their questions–make it a lesson on acceptance and kindness."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
