An eight-year-old girl writes Dear Abby about her worries about not being a good sister due to her use of a wheelchair.
I am writing this letter for one of my students who learned about you through the book “Ramona Quimby, Age 8.” Here is her question: “How should I share my feelings with my mom in a healthy way? And how can I be a good big sister while being in a wheelchair and not able to move like my other sisters?” --To share your feelings with your mother “in a healthy way,” choose a time when she is able to give you her full attention and she isn’t distracted or distressed.
