Re: CMT Support Group for Kids

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I too wish we had a support group/playgroup for kids with similar

special needs. My daughter is almost 4 and I have to admit I

sometimes wish she wasn't always the last one in a pack of kids

running around. I see how it frustrates her and she opts out of alot of group

physical activities like tag and ring around the rosie. I wish you luck with

your group search. Our MDA office does have a parents support group that meets

locally monthly. I've thought about seeing if I can connect with any parents of

similar aged kids to start something.

I think it would be good for her to play with all kinds of kids

whether they are 100 percent able bodied or confined to a wheelchair. Just so

she can see that people come in many different packages.

I too think that it is good for children to be around others that aren't perfect

it helps them to be a better person I think and not to judge on appearance. My

daughter is almost 4 with CMT and there are no support groups or anything in NC

near me either so I am thankful for the ones online I have found.
