À propos de l'événement
Are you parents of Kool Kid and still hesitating to participate?
In addition to this, you will need to know more about it.
You are not the only ones, this hesitation was mentioned by some members during the last General Assembly. Parents, like you, indicated that they probably weren't ready to participate in this type of weekend yet.
Many must have changed their minds after hearing from those who have already met other families, regardless of the setting or the age of the children, because all said they found it very positive for themselves, their kools kids. but also the siblings and all added to be eager to meet again.
In addition to this, you will need to know more about it.
Testimony of a mother's return.
"From experience, and to reassure you, during this type of regrouping, we are all there because we experience the same joys, pains and questions. Also, even if we do not express them in the same way, meeting others people do a lot of good. We recognize each other, we no longer feel alone in the world. It allows us to recharge our batteries through sharing. And then, we are not just talking about disability, these are also festive moments.
With my husband and my daughters, we made our first reunions in England (2) then at I. and P., parents of a Kool Kid wishing to meet others (2 too). Each time, everything was very simple, we had the impression of being part of a new family, family of hearts and common struggles.
I remain convinced that whatever our state of mind, our ability to accept disability more or less quickly, these meetings allow us to make a leap and assert ourselves as parents, parents of disabled children. And this is also valid for siblings who see that other children, adolescents, even young adults are going through the same thing as them and doing very well. They too can share with peers and without parents. "
In addition to this, you will need to know more about it.
We remain of course at your disposal to discuss this subject if necessary and you will find reports on past meetings on the parent members pages of the WEB site. If even after all this you don't feel ready right away, that's okay, we look forward to hosting more such events in the years to come.
