Dumb Things People Say - When Are They Going to Get Better
Manage episode 442213549 series 3471806
In this episode of Raising Disabled, we talk about one of the most frustrating questions parents of disabled children hear: "When will they be better?"
We discuss:
- why this question is harmful,
- how it reflects some of our society's misconceptions about disability,
- and the emotional toll it takes on families.
We hope to redefine what it means to live with and love a disabled child, emphasizing acceptance over expectations. Whether you're a parent, friend, or ally, this episode will help you understand why focusing on "fixing" isn't the right approach and how you can be a better advocate.
