More Than a Body

What do you see when you look at a child with Cerebral Palsy? Someone whose body is too small for his age, can’t get around like a `normal’ child, and cannot communicate with you? Or do you see a normal child who is trapped in a body which restricts him from fulfilling his potential?
How anyone cares for such a child depends very heavily on how they see him. And how they see him and care for him inevitably means that he either remains trapped in his almost useless body, or he is freed from many of the restrictions that hold him captive. We had that choice when Chen came to Xining Children’s Home five years ago.
