How to Talk to Children about People with Disabilities

Why...? Who...? When...? Kids are full of questions that can challenge even the most knowledgeable and experienced parent, teacher, or catechist. How can we help our children grasp matters of faith that are often difficult for adults to understand? This booklet guides parents and catechists to help children learn how the words we use, the looks we give, the food, clothing, and shelter we share are all important in reaching out to others, especially the most vulnerable among us. As disciples of Jesus Christ we want to speak, act, and love in ways that honor the dignity of all human life. This booklet offers ideas, prayers, and strategies to expand our horizons to include all God s children.Charleen Katra
