Would you stop and stare would you if saw a child on full melt down mood? With their back up against the wall tears streaming down the face. Pleading to perhaps have a piece of cheese from the supermarket cheese counter?
Having a colliwobbly because they couldn't carry the supermarket basket...
Going mental because their lunch time treat is 't there for you to buy...
Are you one of those"well in my day they wouldn't have behaved like that...
Shame on today's mothers/ parents" ...
They are perhaps the same sort that chirp up on the bus when someone gets on with a pushchair
" In my day I would have walked.. I walked ....."
Please stop to think ....
That child might have a condition an unseen impairment, disability call it what you will . But please don't tut and make comments.
These are the very things I experienced as a young mum it went beyonds toddler tantrums , the first few years of my toddlers life were stolen away from me because he couldn't talk till he was 3 1/2.
But you know what I wouldn't have it any other way because he wouldn't be as confidant as he is today if it wasn't for bigoted people like that!

Sounds very familiar, not only people stop and stare, they keep walking and turning back, almost tripping over. I feel exasperated at times. And the comments could be so cruel. I think I have grown a thick skin, but some insensitive comment can cut through the armour and leave you almost in tears at the people's unkindness.
