萨布丽娜(Sabrina)一直想当妈妈,您可以通过她的博客和Instagram提要看到她的两个小男孩照亮了她的世界。Her older son is 3 and a half years old and is just starting to ask questions about her psoriasis, like “What is that, Mommy?’ While Sabrina always wants to talk openly and honestly about psoriasis with her children, she seeks to do it in a way they can understand.
她说:“他们可能不明白这是一种自身免疫性疾病,但我可以告诉他们这是我生活的一种疾病。”她向他们解释说,“疾病”的意思是使她生病的东西,当您生病时,您就服用药物。“[My son] will help me put lotion on, and he'll ask, ‘Does it make you feel better, Mommy?’ I say, ‘Yes, it makes me feel better.’ Just talking to him in a language that he understands helps him understand that it's something I live with on a day-to-day basis but that he can help me, too.”
萨布丽娜(Sabrina)也必须利用这些时刻教她的孩子有关同情心,尤其是对可能与众不同的人的同情。
她说:“如果[我的儿子]注意到我有所不同,那么他也会在其他人身上注意到这一点。因此,我试图教他富有同情心。我希望他知道,无论人们的外观,我们都需要接受。”
