[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to do two things. You need to talk to your child about mean girl behavior in general. Imitating people isn't nice. It isn't a matter of this child having DS. We don't mimic people. We don't talk about their behavior. We don't laugh at their conduct. And you need to have a word with the teacher about how this child is being treated. If you want to talk to your child about disability, I recommend saying something like "Your body is strong. Not everyone has a strong body like you. Some people use wheelchairs. Some people like Teddy have Down Syndrome. Some people are weak and need your help. What are some ways that you can be helpful to people who need your help?"[/quote]
