As parents of children with Down syndrome, we’ve sat through too many school meetings and doctors appointments walking away feeling the world thinks our kid is not enough just because they haven’t met other people’s expectations. And we know that’s not true but how DO we measure success for our children with DS? Maybe you’ve learned to not compare your child to their peers without DS but how do you keep yourself from comparing them to their peers who also have DS? We asked tons of mothers these questions at the Down Syndrome Diagnosis Network’s Rockin’ Moms Retreat a few months ago and today we’re sharing their answers. And here’s the most important thing we heard: our kids will define their own success. Lets let them do that, friends. Enjoy the episode!
