With Your Child:
The stage when this might be the biggest challenge for your typical child is when they leave home for the first time. Suddenly no one knows they have a sibling with a disability. They can blend in a little more. They may choose not to laugh at a joke instead of really taking a stand. Be patient with your young adult as he/she adjusts. If they share an example with you of a time they didn't speak up, show grace and understanding. Don't heap on shame. And keep praying as we prayed today!
