Do your children know how to interact with people who have physical or emotional limitations? Dr. Roger Smith addresses the importance of exposing children to the reality of disabilities to replace fear with empathy. He highlights a poignant truth: many people with disabilities feel "invisible" in public. This episode encourages parents to be the bridge—greeting people with mobility aids, introducing their children, and asking respectful questions. By teaching your kids that everyone needs friendship and connection, regardless of their challenges, you help them develop a compassionate worldview and a deeper understanding of their own strengths and struggles.
