[quote=Anonymous]OP, here's how you do it. You just....stop. I bet you can tell and feel in your body when those uncomfortable feelings are just starting to bubble up. Observe them almost like you are outside your body and acknowledge them. And then stop thinking them. That's how you do it. And believe me, I've had lots of practice: I have a child who is disabled but is in a full inclusion class at a public elementary school, which means there are a million opportunities everyday to compare her to the others. So I don't. It also helps that she has a chronic medical condition and in the course of receiving treatments, I get to see other kids who are significantly more disabled. So I guess perspective helps, too. [/quote]
