5 Things You Should Know About Children with Special Needs and their Parents

He or she is a child like any other, with special needs like everyone else, even if those needs may seem more obvious than another’s.

As perfection is only an illusion; real perfection is totally imperfect. We are all different, and our child will always be the most perfect to us in part due to all of his or her imperfections.

Every child is unique and regardless of his condition, any child can live life to its fullest if he or she is loved without hesitation.

A child doesn’t need to fulfill society’s expectations in order to grow happy. All that he needs is to be loved and accepted by his or her family.

No one is born knowing how to be a parent, and this is especially true when we’re hit with an unexpected diagnosis. We all learn new things, but the most important lessons are not hidden in books or articles, or given to us by the doctor: Our kids provide us with the most valuable lessons.
