When you receive your child’s Down syndrome diagnosis, your mind imagines a thousand different scenarios for how their life will go.. but what happens when we consider their siblings? What happens when they realize that the world won’t always be kind to their sibling with Down syndrome? Are they annoyed with each other because that’s their sibling or because they have Down syndrome? How do help our kids connect with one another?
We’re chatting about all things SIBLINGS today! Join us as we discuss what it’s like to parent children with and without DS! We’re talking everything from dividing time between activities and therapies, figuring out how-not-to overburden any of our children, and how to share about DS with your kiddos. It can be complicated but we know one thing for sure.. our kids with Down syndrome have a special way of anchoring the family and reminding everyone of their value and worth.
