[quote=Anonymous]My daughter has a classmate with Downs Syndrome in her prek4 class - and I was disturbed about how she was talking about him and not sure the best way to dispel it. She actually mind of mimics him - saying Child is always going (stares up at the ceiling) or Child just says 'blah blah blah'. Our nanny said that the kids in the class talking about how Child is 'like a 2 year old'. We have some good Berenstain Bears-ish language about respecting others and not teasing and so forth generally - but I would genuinely appreciate advice on the best way to talk to her to describe that Child has differences (as everyone does) and how to behave in a respectful way. Thanks. [/quote]
