Come follow me today over to MusicCityMoms.net.
Some of you readers may remember back in the day, (from 2007 to 2011,) I
was a moderator for the Tennessean's Music City Moms (later renamed Moms
Like Me). The paper ended the forum in 2012, but one member resurrected
the community. I am giving it a three-month trial run as a featured blogger (one post per month). I somehow missed my cue to promote this
post when it ran. Whoops. It's still "up," and, you can still click the link at the end of this
paragraph to read the rest of this story where I discuss the win-win for
our culture when adults foster kindness to all children.
Being kind in the world begins [with] kindness fostered in the home. What are you doing to nurture kindness in your child towards differently abled children? Once upon a time, such as when I grew up in the 60s, students with disAbilities were nowhere to be seen. They were sent to institutions (generally no longer an option, which is a good thing) or kept at home. But mothers and fathers of children with special needs fought mightily for [the] rights [of] their children to attend schools, then to attend schools with typically developing peers and then to be in classrooms alongside those said peers. So, who won in the long run? We all did. [Rest of post here….]
