I speak from experience here, not as a parent of a kid with a disability but as a son with a disability.
As a person and a son with a disability I understand that good parents want to protect their kids. Especially when you are a parent of a kid with a disability. You see how quickly things can go south and you often times want to put your kids in a protective bubble.
Don’t.
Your kid with a disability deserves to try, to fail, and to try again.
They are so much more capable than you think.
Sure, when they fail, and they will, they may not bounce back as quickly as a non-disabled kid (again speaking from experience), but they need and deserve the opportunity to try whatever it is that sets their hearts on fire.
Don’t limit your kids because you’re scared. They are scared too.
Great things never come from comfort zones.
The lessons they will learn and the memories they will make as you help them “send it” will be a foundation for their future.
Be brave for your kids, you are more than their caregiver, you are their support system.
Let ‘em live.
