One of the children in your care asks,"Why can't Sonya walk?" in reference to a four-year old child with cerebral palsy. The best response is

Question

A.:It doesn't matter , she's still our friend , right?"
B. "Shh, don't ask questions like that. You'll hurt her feelings."
C. "Sonya has special needs so please be kind to her."
D. "She can't walk, but she can talk and laugh like you."

With C, you'd need to make sure the child understands the term "special needs."

The only problem I see with D is that it doesn't answer the "why" part of the question.
