Kids notice things that are different from what they know. They probably don’t even know that what they’re seeing is a disability when they see me, but I don’t actually think the goal should be teaching them NOT to notice it. The goal is teaching them that noticing a difference doesn’t have to turn that person into a question to be answered. The thing I love most about kids is how fast they get to acceptance. They may or may not be at the point where they can understand amputation, prosthetics, or the complicated reality of acquiring a disability. Respectfully, many adults aren’t even at the point where they fully get it. But kids understand robots. And that’s why “robot leg” is my go-to. It gives them a bridge between something unfamiliar and something they already know. And once they have that bridge, they usually move on pretty quickly. They go back to playing. Back to talking. Back to treating me like a person instead of a mystery. Because for a lot of disabled people, “What happened to you?” isn’t a neutral question. Many of us acquired our disabilities through illness, injury, trauma…. some of the hardest moments of our lives. Some of us just happen to carry visible evidence of those moments on our bodies. Would you want to revisit the hardest thing that ever happened to you every time someone was curious? Probably not. You’d probably just want to keep living your life. So if you’re teaching your kids how to interact with someone who looks different, I don’t think you have to shut down their curiosity. Teach them that they can notice. Teach them that different bodies exist. Teach them that they don’t need someone’s entire story in order to understand that person deserves the same ease, dignity, playfulness, and belonging as anyone else. Because curiosity isn’t the problem. The important part is what we teach them to do after they notice. And kids, more often than not, seem pretty damn good at choosing connection.
