A Queensland mother has taken to social media to explain to others how to interact with children with disabilities.
After watching children and families ignore her daughter on a holiday, Jen Kyriacou shared her experience in a viral Facebook post, and offered advice for other parents.
Mrs Kyriacou says “it’s hard to watch her be ignored and kids running away from her and this is an ongoing issue parents with kids with disabilities face all the time.”
Instead, she suggests that parents who are “nervous of doing the wrong thing” shouldn’t run from the “opportunity to show [their kids] the right way to interact”.
