Dad Gets A Tattoo So His Daughter Doesn’t Feel Different
It’s not bad that a child feels different, after all we are all unique and special beings. However, seeing a child feel less than other people is something neither a parent nor anyone else can tolerate.
Therefore, Charlotte Campbell’s parents had no hesitation in submitting her to a cochlear implant when they realized that their daughter could not hear absolutely anything with her left ear and that, in addition, she also had problems with her left ear. right ear and your brain transmitted information.
The braces made her look different to the naked eye, but he shouldn’t be a problem for her daughter. His parents knew it wasn’t quite like that. So, so that little 4-year-old Charlotte wouldn’t feel bad, her father completely shaved her head and tattooed a cochlear implant like her daughter’s.
As we can see in the photograph, cochlear implants are not simple hearing aids that help to enhance sound and that the person can take and put on whenever they want, which makes them more visible and bulky. That’s because implants do the work of some parts of the brain that don’t work well, helping to provide the sounds a person must interpret.
An act of love, your daughter’s smile
Alistair Campbell, Charlotte’s father, told the NZ Herald that he did it out of love for his daughter, and while he is growing his hair out, he will have no qualms about shaving it all over again when his daughter wants or needs to see the tattoo.
The mother, for her part, is used to living with these technical devices, because her mother had a son and she herself has another one, Lewis, aged eight, who also needs to wear hearing aids to improve his hearing.
What really matters in these types of interventions and support is that these children can improve their quality of life and that their condition does not limit their relationship with the society to which they belong. Without a doubt, this act of love is wonderful and deserves to travel around the world.
Tamara, a short film about a deaf child who wants to be a dancer
“Tamara” is a beautiful animated short film that tells the story of a child who cannot hear, but who wants to be a dancer. Despite the circumstances, she has the ability to feel music and express it through dance. Click on the link below to watch.
We can extract from the short the teaching that each child and each adult must explore and contemplate their dreams as possible and essentially unique. Nobody is more or less capable of doing something that allows them to dream and feel good about themselves.
Whatever our condition, the fundamental premise is the same: to feel different, but not smaller than anyone else. This is what drives us to overcome any difficulties that may arise in a world that sees us as different.
It is the ability that a father, a mother, a friend, a brother or anyone in the world has to make life easier for someone so that these particularities do not become a disadvantage. Highlighting our individuality, we favor gestures that will make us admit that we live in a world full of diversity.
It’s just that, as we’ve seen in the story we’ve shared today, we can do wonderful things for others, because small actions have the ability to completely change the world.
