In this episode we tell parents of typical children:

💙Why they should be having an intentional, continuous conversation with their kids about people with disabilities,
💙What they should teach their children to do and say (and what not to do as well),
💙and we shared opinions from our listeners and fellow caregivers about what they wish you were teaching your kids about their disabled child.

💚September is NICU Awareness Month! 💚

Remi was hospitalized for the first 444 DAYS of her life. Learn more in our episode Rhandyl’s Story. 🎙️

How do you respond when people ask you “when are they going to get better” or “are they out of the woods yet” or some version of this question about your disabled child? 💙❔💙

This was Remi in her in 2018 at 1 year old. She’s still using the same stander at 8 years old!

💜She stands in a Zing MPS size 1. This goes to show how versatile and adjustable Zing Standers are! Remi stands in her stander for at least an hour everyday.

🦴💪 Standing over the last 7 years has improved her bone integrity and skeletal development tremendously among many other benefits that you can find at zingstanders.com

   

In Episode 34 we talked about how we feel as parents of disabled children during “back to school time.”
