Courtney Westlake is an American mom with 2 children, Connor and Brenna. Brenna has ichthyosis, which makes her skin bright red.
In this article, Courtney writes about the questions that children usually ask when they see Brenna. Then she shares several things she wishes parents would tell their children.
Because regardless of what we see, every human person has inherent dignity and is worthy of deep respect.
Today’s phrase is “We all look different.”
This example is from the article:
“When your child asks you…“Why does she look like that?”, I wish you would answer honestly: “I’m not sure, but the way someone looks isn’t important. We all look different from each other, don’t we?”
