Hi all! I am grandma to two delightful boys ages 1 & 3. My one year old grandson has Down Syndrome, and I am looking for successful ways to help him over the next few years, so he can keep up with his peers. He is strong, and strong willed, but a tiny boy at just over 14 pounds. Still, he crawls and pulls himself up, has great eye contact, but not too much verbal language. Hi to all! Looks like a great group of mamas out there. Always looking for ideas to help (unfortunately, long distance).

Hello!!! I am a Grandma too!
My Grandson is almost 6 months old. I am currently trying to find and do everything I can to keep him ahead. Or at least try to make sure he gets
a good education. I really dropped the ball with my kids… I didnt know anything about early education. An I hate to say my “dropping the ball” with my kids is part of the reason I am practically raising my Grandson (NO offense to anyone). I just feel like if I would have made sure my kids had a good education they would have been able to make better choices and be productive citizens. Well anyway sorry to ramble. I feel like I have a second chance with my Grandson.
Good luck to you
