I hate it so much when kids are curiously looking at me (in a wheelchair with a nasal feeding tube), and an adult is pulling them away telling them not to look like I’m some sort of taboo that should be kept out of sight. I’m more than happy to tell a kid my tummy doesn’t work properly so I need a special straw in my nose to have my food through, and it gives me the cool superpower that I can eat while I sleep! Then all of a sudden a 5 year old thinks I’m cool, not something ‘we don’t talk about’. Such an important topic 💕

Well my daughter sometimes watches your videos with me and children do have a non biased curiosity. Watching your videos for fashion also educating us both on visible disabilities and how to navigate that curiosity in a respectful way. ❤️

whenever I took my son out if children asked questions the parents would say don't ask it's rude I'd say no it's curiosity and explain to the child. Leon has now sadly passed away last year now I get don't talk about him as it upsets me. I then explain I always want him to be remembered and always talked about. life can be difficult around disabilities x

I think the curiosity and conversation about a person’s disability often falls flat when “why” comes into play. Why someone is disabled doesn’t matter and doesn’t require explanation to anyone. My son uses a wheelchair. Particularly with young children, there’s curiosity about an adult using a “stroller”, or my son using a computer to speak. Typically, they aren’t asking for a diagnosis, they simply see something different and are curious. I think the parents are looking through a different lens, and that’s where the shushing comes from. So, why the wheelchair? His legs work differently than yours. Why the computer to talk? Because it’s easier for him to talk this way. The curious kiddo gets the simple answer to the simple question, mum and dad learn it’s okay for kiddo to be curious (within limits), and the whole family has learned a lesson in acknowledging differences without crossing boundaries.

I have always explained and talked to my children about disability [Red heart] I think it should be a common subject to take the stigma away.

I grew up with an Uncle with polio and an aunt with Down syndrome so for me I don’t look at disability in people I look at people as people. So idk it’s just normal for me I can see beyond the disability and see just a normal person

Totally agree with this! Nobody should have to explain themselves but also, children are curious. Id rather say "That person uses a wheelchair because their legs dont work properly or because walking makes them super tired" than say "Dont look etc"

my little girl is disabled. she has a rare genetic disorder called cfc syndrome. I do think it should be explained in school children need to about this.🥰

my mother worked with children with disabilities so it was never a thing in my family just acceptance. I taught my children that everyone is different, we all look different, some can walk some can't, some can sing some can't different is good

if you bring your children up right they will know and accept people with disability and children will ask but if answered correctly from a parent then as they go on they accept it as normal.

You are more “able” that most people even though life is tougher for you.

Genuine questions are good, tell children the truth in the way they can understand. I've told you before my son is profoundly disabled and we have had thousands of questions and stares over the years. 🥰🥰

To be honest your talking about children there are adults on this that are as ignorant about disabilities that the children would put them to shame.

very true Kirsty. I think I've covered this with my children. All aspects of inequality. I just wish they did this at school.
