All our 6 year old daughter wants for Christmas is to be INCLUDED in your organisation, not EXCLUDED as she currently is…..
Our daughter has Type 1 Diabetes and Coeliac Disease.
She has an insulin pump attached to her 24/7. She has to eat gluten free food.
She is incredibly brave, stoical and helpful.
She is beautiful, bright, happy, loves ‘Frozen’, eating cup cakes and swimming……. and she used to enjoy attending her local Rainbows group meetings....................http://www.bestbuggy.co.uk/2014/12/all-our-daughter-wants-for-christmas-is-to-be-included/
Sad account, not only of a little girl being excluded from a Rainbow sleepover because of being T1 and coeliac.
I can understand the volunteers being scared about the responsibility ( I know I would have been prior to being diabetic) but the parents do seem to have tried to suggest ways round problems.
Almost worse is the deceit, the parents were told that the event had been cancelled,****only to find that it was still taking place.
That's a shocking example to give any child.
***edit it was a normal meeting that had not been cancelled, the sleepover is not until January.
