A member raised a deeply relatable question about whether it is their responsibility to teach their 8-year-old nephew that rough play with a disabled person is wrong. Several members offered gentle encouragement, suggesting the member speak directly with the child and his parents, and that finding a calm alternative activity together could help shift the dynamic. A recurring theme was the emotional exhaustion of navigating a situation where others stood by without stepping in, met with warm community support reminding the member that their feelings were valid and that small, kind conversations with children can make a real difference.
