My Mum on Facebook is on a group of parents who have kids with star gardts and people who have it too.. she says I don't seem to suffer from it as much as some people I think because it doesn't get to my head I was 8 when I found out and I think that helped me a lot. My Mum also found these 2 12 year old girls and there parents just found out they have star gardts. One of their Mums asked me "would you rather be told you have star gardts before or after your birthday." I thought about it a lot and decided after because you wouldn't want it to ruin your birthday you knowing you are parcially sighted.
Please comment if you agree or disagree with my answer to this women and as usual ask questions don't be shy anything that you are wondering about like ho I do something if yoyu want a more thorough explanation of star gardts or something I've written just comment below. thanks a lot
see ya next time bye xx

I think you're really thoughtful Flo, I agree with telling them after their birthday too. Congratulations on two years of keeping up with the blog, it's helping lots of people I imagine, not just those who also have it but people who don't can understand some of what you go through. Can't wait to see your photo with your cupcake, Sam (Your Dad's cousin xx)
As a parent, Im not even sure I would want to tell my child if they have it or not. Its this video that made me wonder:

She is very inspirational and a lot of her dedication and motivation came from her parents encouragement and conviction that she is capable of achieving anything she really wants.
What do you think Flo?
