What do you wish your parents did/didn’t do?
Our beautiful baby was diagnosed with Duane’s Retraction syndrome (Type 1) at 6 months old. Having read through some of the posts on here and knowing how tough growing up can be, I really want to help her feel confident and beautiful, because she really is!
My husband suggested putting her in dance or martial arts classes when she’s a bit older, which I thought was a great idea as these aid in coordination through senses other than sight. I am sure we will have many conversations over the years about body image and standing up to bullies etc.
I thought it would be helpful to hear from other people who have it, what advice would you give to us to help build confidence and not feel self conscious about herself? Is there anything your parents did really helped or made things worse.
Like they say, you don’t know what you don’t know! Thank you all ♥️
