[quote=Anonymous]There is a very fine line between what is developmentally appropriate and curious and what is mean-spirited and shaming. My DD is a young child who uses a wheelchair. Kids ask questions that are fine "Why can't you walk?" "What's wrong with your legs?" But depending on their tone of voice and their expression, the questions can be off-putting and mean-spirited. And the next question can be mean and hostile. "Why do you come to the pool?" "Why do you smile so much?" It's not up to the person under questioning to "have a thicker skin." Children need to be taught that personal questions have a limit. Everyone has a right to privacy. [/quote]
