Join Erin and me today as we talk about Down syndrome, what it is,
the stereotypes, and the joys. If you do not parent kids with Down
syndrome, I think you will still find yourself relating to much of
what we have to say, especially when we start talking about
stereotypes and how people perceive disability, and the joys!
What we covered in the show: What is Down syndrome? Physical
characteristics of Down syndrome (you can also find a post about it
HERE) Myths and stereotypes Always happy Always loving They are
angels God gives special children to special parents They can’t
live independent lives, have a job, or marry They are perpetual
children Because they have an intellectual disability, they cannot
be smart They are a burden to their families The JOYS of parenting
a child with Down syndrome Mentioned in the show: : A reality show
that follows the lives of adults with Down syndrome and their
parents. One of our favorite shows! And as always, we have a
freebie for you: What’s next: and leave us a review! We would
appreciate that.
