My daughter is proof positive it is a myth that kids with Down syndrome are such sweet angels, so happy and loving all the time.
Nobody ever tells you there are actually perks to having a child with Down syndrome, but there are!
How low expectations affect kids with Down syndrome, and prevent them from reaching their full potential.
This story sends a powerful message to adoptive parents. Reader Yolanda Rodriguez urges me to open discussions about fostering a baby or young child who has RAD and how children are diagnosed.
If ADHD is more common than ever, does that mean that all kids with ADHD are getting diagnosed?
So although we don’t know for sure if the rates of ADHD are increasing, it’s possible that they are, and it would be important to determine what factors could be in play?

My heart cries reading discriminatory comments from people against individuals with Down syndrome and disabilities. So much hatred is out there, they think people like my daughter are a drain to society, don't deserve to be born, and aren't living a full life.
