[quote=Anonymous]OP - your kids are going to encounter people different from them in life. Some of those people might have physical or mental differences that make them move or act out in unpredictable, inconvenient, and even dangerous ways. You can talk to your kids about this in a way that is factual, acknowledges their fear or curiosity, and shows empathy for your BIL. They should know how to keep themselves safe and that you will keep them safe, but also that BIL is not fully able to control his emotions and actions like most adults they know. My 8yr old is in a mixed special needs and gen Ed classroom with a teacher, a SN teacher, and push in aides. Some kids in his class need a lot of support. I was worried it would scare him because he’s shy and doesn’t like loud noises. It has been better than fine. He has a lot more empathy and understanding for his peers who have challenges that I expected or knew was possible for a kid his age. [/quote]
