Just say hello

Just say hello, when you see your kids staring at a special needs child, just say hello to the child and encourage your child to do so.

Today we took Owen to the park. Today I estimate 80% of the kids stared at him.  I actually get why they do and I describe it in this post http://hintstipsandhacks.blogspot.com.au/2015/07/how-to-cope-with-not-being-invisible.html so this is not saying don't stare or notice Owen.  I get that you will and your kids will too. This post is just saying kids like Owen have feelings and most of them love to be around other kids. This post is saying, it would make their day if you and your child said hello.  This post is saying it would make their Mum and Dad's day if you and your child said hello. This post is saying, show your kids how it's done.  This post is saying, just say hello.

Don't say it's rude to stare, just say hello.
