04 Nov Remember being asked what do you want to be when you grow up?

A Ballerina, a Doctor👩‍⚕️, a Nurse, a Teacher 👩‍🏫…
Has anyone asked your child 👶🏻 with Down Syndrome what they want to be when they grow up?

Many parents of children 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦with Down Syndrome encounter existing prejudices which comes in many forms varying from being told outright during their pregnancy 🤰that they should terminate their pregnancy to the more subtle absence of not asking about future possibilities and dreams. Hard as it may be, it is often times better to have outright judgemental statements challenged when spoken, compared to not being able to handle the unspoken societal prejudices.

Here at My Favourite Physio, 🤓we believe that the one simple step we can all do, to ensure equal opportunities for children with Down Syndrome is to encourage each parent to ask their child ” What do you want to be when you grow up?”🤔 that way, we instill a future, a goal, a potential and a dream into each child which will mould their destiny.

Comment Below what your child’s answer is or What your answer is if your baby is still too young to answer themselves.🤔
