| We have a 4 year old Daughter with Down Syndrome her name is Heaven she is in early child hood school, next year she will be in kindergarten, We are wondering how it was going to be for her, she is going to be in a regular school also. she talks only when she wants to and does some signing. ↑ |
| I had the same concerns of how it would bebut it turned out to be great. The kids were very accepting of her. In fact they almost wouldn't let her do anything for herself lol. I would make sure that she has a one tone aid at all times some kids can be mean. Overall I have been happy with her school experince. I took time to get to know the teachears and aids and in turn they took her under their wing.it warms ur heart to see people genuinley care about ur child.as afr as her talking only when she wants my naga is the same way and she always has a agenda and speaks to get it done so iguess they say what they need to school will bring out more from her. And although nqga cantt read yet she memorizes every song they seem to love music so I use it to teach her things.i hope I help out a little I'm here anytime any question ↑ |
I understand.
The only reason that your angel is considered "different" is because the "norm" has not caught-up with understanding just how selfish it is. What I mean by this is, that the "normal" world dictates what is exceptable and not....which has nothing really to do with the true potential of the individual being spoken about.
100 years ago, someone with depression might have easily been labled possessed by the devil or a religious punishment from God. Most of the norm would have, if asked, completly agreed with this without hesitation or question. Only in the last 50 years has man had the time, resources, and there for desire to investigate this type of difficulty has the mindset changed to were depression has become a part of the "norm".
I promise you, there will come a time when individuals like your child and yourself will be looked at as Pioneers that opened man's eyes to what and who we really are. For both of you are just that. Your child is a gift. A gift with so many different facets that we may not truly know all of them within the next two generations. Yes, you will have to suffer emotions and tears, but remember, just because others do not see the grace in your world, doesn't mean that this doesn't exsist. Sometimes, the keys to human growth come in packages that are not always understood or kindly excepted. She is, in a way, your Joan of Arc or Space explorer.
It is very possible that your child is more grown-up than many "norm" individuals. That she is here to teach a very important lesson with her special type of understanding. That she is blessed with a sense of honesty virtue, and mental strength that surpasses most and just doesn't appear the way maturity does for most. She is teaching you and everyone she meets what life, love, beauty, and depth really is. She is teaching you how to live fully and love easily.
Remember, not all Genius can be measured through IQ or normalized testing. ↑ |
| my son is 15 and mostly a joy to be around i only say mostly because he is after all a 15 year old boy i am a single mother and his sisters are 20 and12 so most of his life is dictated by females there has never been a positive male role model for him until recently he has 2 male teachers that he just adores i want to commend you for loving your daughter when sometimes it seems so easy for fathers to walk away my son was in public school until 4th grade and we moved him to state school its like regular school but the teachers are better trained for special needs the other kids in public loved bob it unfortunately was the teachers that we had problems with moving him to state school has been a blessing better teachers and he is around kids like him he is happier and he still gets to come home every day so he gets the best of both intensive education friends and family so he is surrounded by love and he loves all that surround him these kids are amazing just dont ever let her learn the word can't because there are no limits ↑ |
