Chapter 17: As Your Child Gets Older
A blind child may express his feelings by insisting that he wants to see, or by insisting that he will be able to see when he gets bigger. He may ask you why he is blind.
Your child may become really angry and he may show his anger by his behavior and the way he acts with his family.
As you answer your child's questions, reassure him and praise him for all the things he can do. If he knows he is cared for and his feelings are understood, it will be easier for him to accept his blindness.
When your child talks about these feelings, tell him you understand that he is upset. Let him know that you care about the way he feels.
