The Visible Difference Parenting Toolkit is an e-book designed to help parents and carers of children with visible differences of any kind. It offers practical advice on how to support your child and take care of your own wellbeing. 

The e-book is divided into two parts and includes helpful information and interactive activities:

Section one focuses on how to manage difficult thoughts and feelings as a parent.

Section two provides advice and guidance on how to handle specific situations such as managing reactions of other people, teasing and bullying, talking to your child about their visible difference, and managing healthcare appointments.
