Have you heard of my amazing friend, Lisa Thompson? She runs a blog called Love that Charlie, where she shares stories about her eight-year-old son, Charlie. Charlie is the big brother to Mia and is full of personality—playful, kind-hearted, and with the most captivating blue eyes. He reminds me a lot of my son, Danny. However, unlike Danny, Charlie lives with cerebral palsy.
Lisa and I have often discussed the idea of teaming up for a post. There’s an abundance of knowledge and experience that our readers (and we) can share with one another. The timing couldn’t be better this week, as we are both collaborating with P&G to highlight the Special Olympics. Here’s our brilliant plan (if I do say so myself):
Submit Your Questions
I’m inviting you all to submit your questions about parenting special needs children in the comments below. You know the types of questions—those you’ve been curious about but perhaps hesitant to ask their parents. Lisa’s audience is primarily made up of special needs families, and they will come over here to provide answers to your inquiries. In exchange, her blog will feature a space where her readers can share insights they wish typical parents knew (yes, that’s the right term). Sounds great, right?
What Do You Want to Know?
So, what do you want to know? Ever wondered how to react when your child stares at a child with disabilities? Ask away. Did you just receive a diagnosis and feel lost about what to do next? These are the people who can help. Curious about their everyday experiences? Don’t hesitate to put those questions out there. We’re aiming to dismantle barriers and foster an open, honest dialogue. After you post your queries here, don’t forget to check out Lisa’s blog to see what her readers have to share with you. Show them you’re listening, and let’s keep this conversation going.
A Fantastic Opportunity
We believe this can be a fantastic opportunity for all of us to learn and connect over what binds us together: an immense love for our incredible children. For more insights, you might also enjoy this related post on family dynamics.
