There is just no need for meanness, especially not related to the way someone looks. My great wish is that she'll not only be kind herself, but will be confident enough to speak up when others need to be kind too. x #KCACOLSJessica Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17600892373826080305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452899673279194931.post-76661078988763805372016-07-11T18:23:59.815+01:002016-07-11T18:23:59.815+01:00Wonder was such an amazing and inspiring book!

I ...Children can really be so mean. As can adults. <br />I actually have a friend who has ED, she sounds so similar to your little Theo, and she has soooo much confidence, it's amazing. I remember, when we were in school, she always had some sort of witty comeback to say to someone who had something to say. I truly think it came from her home-life. She was always told how beautiful she was, and how even though she was 'different' she really wasn't different at all. This gave her the confidence to go out into the real world alone. She's such a strong, independent adult now. <br />With a mom like you, I know Theo will be just fine <3 #KCACOLSAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954725295203985521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452899673279194931.post-12558418349276032502016-07-10T10:18:59.695+01:002016-07-10T10:18:59.695+01:00I had never heard of this condition so thank you f...I had never heard of this condition so thank you for raising my awareness.
