Dumb Things People Say - When Are They Going to Get Better

from Raising Disabled · host Deonna Wade and Rhandyl Vinyard

Text Us!In this episode of Raising Disabled, we talk about one of the most frustrating questions parents of disabled children hear: "When will they be better?" We discuss:why this question is harmful, how it reflects some of our society's misconceptions about disability, and the emotional toll it takes on families. We hope to redefine what it means to live with and love a disabled child, emphasizing acceptance over expectations. Whether you're a parent, friend, or ally, this episode will help you understand why focusing on "fixing" isn't the right approach and how you can be a better advocate.If you like this episode, check out these past "Dumb Things People Say" episodes:God Gives Special Kids to Special PeopleYou Are So StrongEverything Happens for a ReasonPlease subscribe, leave a review, and follow us on social media to know about upcoming episodes and to participate in this podcast.Instagram - @raisingdisabledpodcastFacebook - Raising Disabled Podcast
