The Mom's Book of Worries

Most of you have heard the phrase, "Walk a mile in my shoes" when dealing with others. We probably don't think of it for children. It's usually referred to when dealing with a disability or someone with a wealth of experiences. Our children are usually seen as too young or inexperienced for this to ring true, but they have dealt with it their whole lives, that's saying something!

Children can be cruel yet they start so innocent! We train them up seeing the world in likes and differences and then have a hard time getting them to accept disabilities. Visual disabilities are often easier to accept than mental slowness or physical limitations. Yet it is most common.
