Let me introduce you to my fantastic friend, Sarah Thompson, who shares her experiences on her blog, Life with Noah. She writes about her spirited eight-year-old son, Noah, who happens to be a big brother to his sister, Lily. Noah is playful, kind, and has the most captivating blue eyes. He reminds me so much of my son, Alex—except Noah has Down syndrome.
Sarah and I have often discussed the idea of working together on a project. There’s so much we can learn from each other’s communities! This week felt like the perfect moment, especially since we’re both collaborating with P&G to promote the Special Olympics. Here’s our brilliant plan:
I invite you all to submit your questions about parenting special needs children in the comments section. You know the ones—the questions you’ve always wanted to ask but hesitated to bring up. Sarah’s audience primarily consists of special needs parents who will join us here to provide answers. In return, we will post on Sarah’s blog, where they will share insights they wish typical parents knew (yes, that’s the right term). Exciting, right?
So, what’s on your mind? Have you ever been unsure how to react when your child stares at someone with a disability? Or perhaps you’ve recently received a diagnosis and feel lost? These are your people! Whether you’re curious about their day-to-day lives or how to navigate social situations, now is the time to ask. We’re breaking down barriers and fostering an open dialogue. After posting your inquiries here, don’t forget to check out Sarah’s site to see the valuable insights her readers are eager to share. Let’s show them that we’re listening and keep this important conversation flowing.
We believe this is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to learn from each other and unite over our shared love for our incredible children.
