Children with special needs often need help navigating society, especially at an early age. Playgrounds can be ruthless, school bullies can be relentless, and the constant feeling of being an outsider can be emotionally exhausting. However, with some help , children with special needs can and often do fit in with the children around them. The first step in helping a child with special needs fit in is to teach them to love themselves. When children feel good about themselves they are more confident and outgoing. This confidence is key to making and keeping friends, as well as to leading a happy, emotionally healthy life. Lots of children feel isolated by their disabilities , especially if they are noticeable. Don't let your child remain isolated from his or her peers. It may be difficult to interact with children who do not understand the disability, but with enough confidence and support children with special needs can make plenty of friends. Keep in mind that these friends will form a crucial support system for your child, so teach him or her the importance of both being a good friend and choosing good friends. A great way to get your child socially involved is to take them to camps or other community activities . Day camps are a great way for timid children to meet new friends and build up their confidence, and there are plenty of programs that cater to children with special needs. It is important that children with special needs interact with both disabled and nondisabled children. Having a variety of friends will allow your child to have a support system that will be capable of helping them through any of their challenges. Helping a child with special needs fit in may be difficult at times, but doing so will allow the child to build social skills that will last a lifetime.
