Become parent advocates for your child. If you have a special child, then all the more that you be sensitive of his needs. A special child has special needs. They need more understanding more than any member of the family. Not that you will forsake other members of the family just because of him but all the members of the family must understand that he has special needs.
It is important that all the other members of the family understand that the other member with physical handicap needs to be given more attention than the others. When this necessity is explained well to the other members of the family, no jealousy will ensue. They know and understand that they need not be jealous of the special treatment that he is getting because this is part of his needs.
Explain to your spouse or partner why special attention must be accorded to the child. It is important that all the members of the family are in one page when it comes to dealing with the challenge. Taking good care of your special child is a challenge. It helps so much if all the other members of the family are being supportive of each other.
Educating these kids about the special condition of others start with the fathers and mothers of these children. If you taught your child to be condescending about these kids, people could not expect compassion for kids towards other kids with special needs. Teaching these kids about good values and treating other people with respect lies in the hands of adults.
You get exhausted too sometimes. You are only human. You also need the support of the others. Find similar people who are also dealing the same things in their home. There are associations and organizations that you can join. Check the internet for these associations.
Taking good care of the needs of your child can get you weary sometimes. Get the right support system.
