Every child is born with a light that deserves to shine — no matter how different it may seem. Children with disabilities have strengths, insights, and beauty that the world too often overlooks. When we take the time to see them for who they are — not who we expect them to be — we uncover courage, creativity, and deep resilience. Their journey may be unique, but it’s no less meaningful.

Temple Grandin’s words remind us that being different isn’t a flaw — it’s a strength. A child who experiences the world in their own way offers us a new lens of understanding and compassion. Let’s uplift, support, and advocate for these children, showing them they are seen, valued, and loved. Because within every “different” is a greatness waiting to be embraced.

Gentle Tip:
✨ Try this: Shift your language at home — trade “can’t” and “won’t” for “differently” and “not yet.” And post this quote where you’ll see it often — a daily reminder that your child’s difference is also their brilliance.
