A few years ago we had a small stall at a local sunday market that sold all sorts,a mother was browsing the stall with her disabled daughter in a wheelchair,I came round to the front and picked something off the stall got down on my kness unwrapped it and gave it to the daughter,the littles girls eyes lit up,the mother thanked me,i said its ok,it just cost coppers,she said no,i mean thank you for just talking to my daughter,well my partner came round the front and got chatting to the mam,told her about my sister who had similar disabilities,the problems with name calling and the mainly older kids who thought spacca and mongol were amusing things to shout from accross the road.Young kids are totally innocent,they don't know what preducice or discrimination are,its the parents who drag the kids away from people with disabilities,without even trying to explain maybe why that person looks or walks the way they do,Its no wonder when we grow to adulthood we react uncomfortably to people with differences.I noticed the charity Scope are doing a range of books for children featuring people with disabilities,well thats one present for my grandson,and as to the question are we adult enough? perhaps some of us try to be too adult and forget about the unbiased,unjudgemental innocence of a childs eye
