Parents may wonder how they can help their child to do this. It seems to me the greatest thing parents can give to their children who have Moebius syndrome, or any other disability, is love. My mother never treated me any differently than my brother and sister - she loved me just the same. Giving children the strength and confidence to love the people they are and believe in themselves will get them through the most difficult times. This will help them become more independent and able to tackle the world on their own.
Parents are a solid foundation for children to build from.
With a loving parent who encourages, supports, and believes in them, I see no reason why children who have Moebius syndrome, or any other disability, cannot achieve a great deal. I don't intend to let it hold me back. Many will tell you that people who have Moebius syndrome can't smile, but I have never believed them. I can't physically smile, but I have been smiling all my life. People who know you well will know when you are smiling.
