I think its great the way the child with Downs is incorporated like all the others. Its not a commercial ABOUT being different, its just different children being kids!

Thanks, Maggie. I’ve really been struggling lately with how much to push Noah to talk. He really hates it when I try to practice with or elicit speech from him. Maybe it’s just too hard for him right now, but will not always be that way? Being reminded that these guys do things, but they do it in their own time was very helpful to me this morning.

Blessings,
Alyson

I heard it and heard it and heard it over and over again… And somewhere along the line it seems to have finally sunk into my head… children with Down syndrome will learn everything but they do it AT THEIR OWN PACE and in the order of their choosing (vs. the “typical” order of skills-acquisition)… but know that THEY WILL LEARN! My Boys are now 8 and I’ve come to understand that this is absolutely TRUE! They will also do for their peers or favorite teachers what they would never do for Mommy… though I might’ve been asking them to do it for years. The piggy back and making learning a game are useful and significant tactics that we use all the time in our home. And, kudos to you for establishing a strong “school-time” schedule. Based on my experience, there is power in establishing a regular routine for educational work at home as that will help Noah in the future. The therapists established it and The Boys have always complied… but I personally failed to establish a strong education-time routine at home and we still don’t have good cooperation for homework. Sounds like he’s a typical little boy… some days compliant and some days not so much. You’re doing a great job!

Thanks. I’m trying to hold on to that happiness – what started out as a few minor upgrades has turned into a total major remodel from the subflooring to the ceilings – and I’m NOT exaggerating. Stay tuned for pictures. :O (this is me horrified)
