How to Talk to Your Kids About Disability: Encouraging Empathy During CP Awareness Month
Opening the Conversation at Home
As parents, we try to prepare our kids for a world full of diversity—different cultures, personalities, and abilities. But conversations about disability are often delayed or avoided, not out of malice, but uncertainty. Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month, observed every March, offers a perfect opportunity to bridge that gap and teach our children to embrace differences with compassion and curiosity. Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of neurological disorders that affect movement, muscle tone, and posture. While CP is the most common motor disability in childhood, many families still aren’t quite sure how to talk about it. That’s why these discussions matter: they shape how the next generation responds, with kindness or discomfort.
