Jen Kyriacou has taken to social media to share her advice with other parents after witnessing children avoiding her daughter.
"She may say hello or she may ignore you, but you've shown your kids what to do."If your child is being rude and running away, laughing, pointing or staring with an ugly face, intervene and quietly pull them away and tell them that's rude."I have the world's best poker face but the family sees it all.
"I think it's really, really important to make kids comfortable around people with disabilities and facial differences and parents are often the cause of prejudice and fear," she said.Ms Findlay said she agreed with all the Brisbane mum's tips and the way she approached the frustrating issue on social media.
Ms Kyriacou said she was shocked to wake up this morning to see how much her post had been shared overnight. "I didn't think it would go any further than my local disability community but it's really heartwarming," she said. "There's been such a positive response from not only families with kids with disabilities but also awesome people who are saying we just didn't know how to connect, and you've helped us understand."

Native Title hunting laws ‘desperately need to be revised’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Rita Panahi has called out the “despicable behaviour” captured on camera showing a wombat being tortured and killed by an off-duty police officer.\n\nSouth Australia Police say they have launched an investigation into the incident and have promised to take appropriate action, but Ms Panahi has asked “what is taking them so long”.\n\n“There is clear footage of their officer committing an act of animal cruelty while laughing,” she said.\n\n“He has no business being in any police force or any position of authority.”\n\nThe officer in question, Waylon Johncock, reportedly helps non-Indigenous officers understand the social and cultural issues within the Indigenous community, but Ms Panahi said suggestions that his actions should therefore be viewed in a different light “are utterly absurd and an insult to Indigenous Australians”.\n\nShe noted that protected and even endangered animals can be killed under the Native Title Act, under laws that “desperately need to be revised”.\n\n“Let me say it loudly and clearly - the laws around traditional hunting should be reviewed,” Ms Panahi said.\n\n“But sadly, successive governments from both sides have been too gutless to tackle the issue.\n\n“Australia lectures Japan about the cruelty of whaling but we allow the slaughter of vulnerable creatures, even endangered creatures, under the Native Title Act which allows Indigenous people to hunt species that are otherwise protected.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n
