My child is experiencing bullying in school- any suggestions?
Education is key!
Teach your child how to answer questions from other students and be an advocate for themselves. Courage and confidence can go a long way in helping them to help others understand their situation. If needed, get the teacher involved! They should be an advocate for your child during school hours when family members are not present. Encourage the teacher to create a positive environment that ensures normalcy. The last thing we want is for your child to feel separated in any way because of their prosthesis. Involving the students in a lesson in prosthetics can be a fun way to encourage understanding and acceptance.
