Does showing love have an impact on able children’s mentality? Does giving affection have a significant impact on disabled children’s psyche? Every child experiences moments where they feel deficient, incomplete, and inadequate. Is it only a feeling children experience, or do adults have faulty experiences as well? The unique thing about sharing love as a human being is that it affects us all. At our lowest or highest point mentally, receiving love will always impact us all. As individuals, we can grow from the receipt of love and affection. On the other hand, what if you or your child is disabled and constantly feels insufficient? Should children with a disability be given extra love and affection because of their disability?

Disability most often affects children’s self-image, resulting in poor social skills and self-esteem. Being disabled as an adult comes with a lot of challenges so imagine being disabled as a child. A disabled child has to deal with more interfering problem behaviors than regular peers. Not only are you here to support your child physically, but you must also support their mentality. As adults, we must understand that other children usually surround disabled children, and they don’t understand disability comes in many different forms. Children are curious about everything surrounding their environment. When they stare at the disabled often, they are curious about the child’s disability. Once children learn about the disability and it happens, they usually build compassion for the disabled. It’s all right to explain the physicality and onset of the disability to the child because it will help the child make love for the disabled.

From personal experience, being involved with a disabled, I have concluded the stare she received from children made her feel inferior. Her inferiority complex resulted from her feeling inadequate or insecure physically or psychologically. Showering the disables with love will foster their self-esteem, sense of security, and overall well-being by providing a feeling of acceptance, belonging, and validation, which can be especially crucial when facing challenges related to their disability. I wrote the book “Broken Before the Storm” to tell her life story. She was born disabled, and she felt inferior to her peers in school because of her disability. Her disability hindered her growth because she lost her confidence in some areas. She hated the stares from the other children, which led to her low self-esteem of deep feelings of deficiency to other people. Despite all the odds against her, she received a tremendous amount of love from her parents, family, and friends, which helped her become the person she is today. It was like a battle between her overall deep feelings of deficiency to other people and the impact of love from her loved ones. A quote from the book, “I overcame the hardest storm in life, and that was to be born with muscular dystrophy. Nothing else in life can be more difficult for me. I am known as the ‘Disabled Girl’ who did not let my medical condition control my purpose in life.” The effect of love significantly impacted her life success, mentality, and psychology. If you know an able or disabled child battling inferiority to their peers, grab a copy of my book to help uplift their self-esteem.
