[blparent] New blind parents

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Hi, Tony. There isn't a tutorial on blind parenting, but then, there isn't a tutorial on parenting in general. You just have to figure it out as it happens. I have a ten-year-old daughter, and raising her a day at a time has been one of the greatest blessings, and quite often one of the greatest challenges, of my life. Congratulations, and welcome to the adventure!

Some links you might find helpful are:

There are lots of other blogs, Facebook groups, and publications available by and for blind parents, much more so than there were even ten years ago when I started out on this journey. I hope you find the support you need. As others have said, feel free to ask specific questions.

Regards,
Jo Elizabeth Pinto

Subject: [blparent] New blind parents

Hi all,

Both me and my wife are visually impaired and we have a baby on the way. 
We don't have any experience, but we'd like to learn how to do it right. 
I don't have any specific questions at this moment, but I am wondering if you guys have any advice on how to be a blind parent in general? Is there any tutorial on how to be a blind parent?


Thanks

Tony
