Staring

We've had our fair share of stares. I do try to handle staring so that everyone keeps their dignity --- including me!

I found this article by Judy Winter, excerpted from her book, Breakthrough Parenting for Children with Special Needs: Raising the Bar of Expectations insightful so I thought I would share. When you have a child with a 'visible' disability staring can be disconcerting to all.

I really enjoy the articles by Kathie Snow at www.DisAbilityIsNatural.com. She has challenged my attitudes and once our attitude is adjusted, we can help others. She has an article about staring.
