Thankyou for taking the time to reply at such lengths.
I totally agree, children can be assholes, and tolerance for that which is different isn't widely preached...I mean, sure, they don't get the full implications of what they are doing, but all the same, a lot of kids could use some better upbringing.
I get that it IS about the way you approach it, as with many conditions and situations, however...I'm still confused as to why it has to be sugar coated...like, I guess it's the parents individual point of view, but for the record, personally, I'd be frank and direct with my child...teach them that "retarded", or whichever condition they are inflicted with isnt something to pass off as bullshit, to be taken seriously, and not to be ashamed of...but yeah, that's not to say that 20 other asshole kids wouldnt try to convince them otherwise...
I just can't really make sense of this on way or another, it seems that the outside influence would be there regardless of "sugar coating" things or not...maybe the problem is just the acceptance thing.
Unfortunate.
