Since then, Sarah has kept followers updated on life as a family of four and what it\u2019s like raising twins while navigating her limb difference.<\/p>\n<p>This week, the Bachelor Nation star got candid and discussed setting respectful boundaries when talking to kids about disabilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DcRxBUzhuER\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">new video<\/a>, Sarah responded to a question she received asking if it\u2019s okay for their child to ask a stranger about their disability.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>          <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid img-aspect-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/c9058d674b0641e3963b5af9adb1d909_xl.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                          Instagram<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI get questions like this a lot,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m always happy to answer based on my lived experience. But I want to take a step back because it\u2019s important to note that I am an elder millennial. I\u2019m 39 years old. I grew up in a generation where disabilities were not included in books and media and cartoons. I grew up in a very small town, where I was the only kid with a visible disability from kindergarten until 12th grade. So I\u2019m unpacking that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sarah continued, sharing, \u201cNow I\u2019m a mom raising two very curious little humans. But here\u2019s the thing. It happens all the time. Without fail, I will be at the grocery store or the park and a little kid will run up to me and say, \u2018What happened to your arm? Where\u2019s your arm? Where\u2019d your arm go?\u2019 Usually I\u2019ll say, \u2018Oh, I was born without my arm,\u2019 and they\u2019ll say, \u2018Is it going to grow back?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Bachelor Nation star noted that the child will usually keep asking questions while the parent stands there uncomfortably, not knowing what to do or say. Sarah reassured viewers that it\u2019s fine for kids to be curious. However, \u201ca few curious questions can quickly turn into a barrage of questions that I don\u2019t know how to answer for your child,\u201d she stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>          <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid img-aspect-custom\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/bbc521f3e3bc44649e36d4eb7e7abf88_xl.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                          Instagram<\/p>\n<p>Sarah advised parents to help model respectful boundaries and how to carry \u201ccuriosity with care.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t need to know all the answers about someone\u2019s disability. You just need to say, \u2018I see you have questions. I see you\u2019re really curious. Mommy will be happy to answer all these questions for you when we get in the car. Or when we do bedtime tonight,\u2019\u201d Sarah suggested.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat you\u2019re modeling is respectful boundaries. Our kids are curious; we need to teach them how to carry their curiosity with care\u2026 Our kids are still learning how the world works. Curiosity is their gift. Our job is teaching them how to carry it with care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We love seeing Sarah share her experience with motherhood so candidly and appreciate her message. We know her honesty is helping so many others.<\/p>\n<p>      <script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Instagram Getting candid.
