Have you ever gone to a birthday party, a summer BBQ, or a coffee shop and just felt your shoulders up the entire time? Maybe you even noticed that your child has their shoulders up too..
But have you ever been to a meet-up with other families who have kids with Down syndrome? Have you felt the sense of peace come over when you realize everyone will understand if your child takes off one too many layers of clothing..or if they need their diaper changed.. You can let your shoulders down in these spaces where you know your people just get it. That’s why it’s so important to find your people. And we’re chatting all about HOW to find your people in today’s episode. It might be hard work, but take it from us - it’s so worth it.
