"What's wrong with him?"
It's a question many parents of children with developmental delays or disabilities hear far too often.
And sometimes it's asked right in front of the child.
In those moments, remember this:
You don't have to explain your child's diagnosis.
You don't have to satisfy someone's curiosity.
A calm response like,
"He's working on some skills with his therapist, and he's doing really well."
is often all that's needed.
If someone continues asking questions, it's perfectly okay to say,
"We're not discussing that right now."
Your child is always learning from you—not just through your words, but through the way you protect their dignity.
One day they may forget what people said.
But they'll remember how safe, accepted, and loved you made them feel. 💜
