Six Ways to Support Families With a Special-Needs ChildSample

5 | Seek to encourage

Look for ways to encourage them and their family. Parents often feel overwhelmed and inadequate to help their children work through present challenges. They are dealing with fears and the unknowns of the future. Your encouragement can be just what they need to keep going.

Tell them the way you see God working in their family. Tell them the progress you see their child making. Tell them the strengths you see in them as a parent.

Encouragement and speaking life into one another are powerful. Your words of encouragement will strengthen their hearts and keep them focused on the good that God is doing in their family.
