About This Book:
This book is intended to bring disability awareness to children. It develops the topic of disability into 3 sub-topics:- Explaining Disabilities
- Disability Etiquette
- Acceptance and Inclusion
This book uses plain language which makes it suitable for children as young as five years old, or younger with parents' assistance. After reading this book, children will have a better understanding of the diversified world that they are a member of, how to co-exist and be inclusive of all. It includes very colorful, vibrant, and detailed illustrations to grasp the attention of children, to keep their interest, and to also help them visualize the information that is being given to them. So, after a child reads this book, if he/she sees someone with a prosthetic leg; that child would have already been exposed to this different ability and would be mentally ready to process it as he/she is already familiar with someone using a prosthetic leg. Hence, that will prevent the uncomfortable comments or behaviors. In addition, this book will help expand children's vocabularies as they learn new words.
This book, Kindness to Carry Around: Explaining Disabilities to Kids pushes children's analytical and conscious development. It encourages children to go out there and be change agents while sharing their knowledge with their peers. This can boost children's confidence and help them develop more and better social skills. Furthermore, it is a conversation starter between parents and kids, giving them an opportunity to bond over learning about an important issue in today's society.
Why Is It Important to Teach Our Children About Disability?
According to the UNICEF, in 2021 there was an estimate of 240 million children around the world with at least one disability. The probability that our children will go to school with, or meet a kid with a disability on the playground throughout their childhood is very likely to happen. Children's curiosity hungers as they come across people who are different from them. They may not have the maturity to explore this curiosity in the best way, nor may they process the difference in the best way. Maybe you're one of the parents with a kid with disability; and I know that your love for your child and the hope that your child will feel loved and welcome in this world are the same as every parent. Therefore, this is an important conversation to have with our children to prevent bullying and other insensitive behaviors.
As parents, it is our responsibility to teach our kids right from wrong and to help them grow into adults with values and humane qualities. Sometimes, we fail to identify some of these important conversations until we find ourselves in an uncomfortable situation after an incident. This is where Auntie-B comes in with her collections of books, to close these gaps. Although we have made great progress, the lack of disability awareness and etiquette is still very apparent in today's society. That poses a menace to basic human rights. My goal is to reassure that parents and educators are covering all basis, and to facilitate the teaching of our children in every ethical aspect.After purchasing this book, please come back to share an honest review on Amazon or Google to help us identify ways to improve our materials, and/or to help other parents find this gem of great teachings for their children.
