I have to disagree with the previous response. You don’t know what life will throw at you, so to tell a child “it will never happen to you” is dangerous. What if it does? Children, as you know, remember everything. If anything disabling did happen to your child, he/she would always recall what you said when…

I spend lots of time teaching children about people with disabilities and differences. They want to know, and they want to know now! It is important for you to let your child know that all people have differences. If he gets a chance to see this girl again and becomes friends with her, you should allow him to ask questions. Always remember it is up to the person with the difference to answer, not you. I always tell parents children stare because they want to learn. Mommies and Daddies letting them hide away is not going to help the child or the other individual. I promise you, if you teach them now it we will all see a better, more excepting world tomorrow.
