"How can I help my child as much as possible, be there for them, but not lose myself?" and "How do I communicate with this family now?". This book answers both questions. It is for those who raise children with Down syndrome or grow up around them, relatives and friends of the family, teachers and doctors who deal with special children. And for those who are in no way related to this topic but would like to learn more.
This is not a new methodology or a manual on the development of children with special needs, but a collection of 40 real stories of families who faced the verdict: "Your child has Down syndrome" and the subsequent questions "Why me?" and "How to live on?".
The author of the book is Tatiana Dell, the founder of the public foundation "Sunny Home" in Petropavlovsk and the mother of Alice with Down syndrome. Tatiana is sure that the lived experience of other moms and dads, supported by the comments of a psychologist, will help readers to quickly overcome the difficult period of acceptance, to know their emotions in the first years of special parenthood and realize that they are perfectly normal. And most importantly, to realize that they are not alone in their feelings and get support from those who are also conquering their own special Everest. The heroes of the book have themselves trampled the paths to a happy family present and are now ready to share their compass and guide others.
Friends and professionals who work with families will be able to better understand parents and be more careful in their interactions with them. For readers who are unfamiliar with the topic, the collection can be a bridge to the world of special childhoods, an effective tool for developing empathy and overcoming various difficulties in life.
