304. Summer Isolation for Kids w/Down Syndrome
Summer isolation for our kids with disabilities.. It’s not fun to talk about.. which means we probably should. Lets unpack it:
Why is no one reaching out to our children to hang out over the summer?
What happens when full inclusion during the school year still doesn’t foster meaningful friendships for your child?
What do we do with these feelings of loneliness? How do we talk to our kids about this?
With our kiddos growing up, we’ve noticed huge changes in the social dynamics that have left our kids with disabilities feeling lonely over summer break, especially when compared to their neurotypical siblings. If you’re a parent to a child with a disability, you may have noticed this as well. We might not have all the answers but we want you to know: we see you and we are cheering you on in this!
