Blueberry Shoes ProductionsDown Syndrome: The First 18 Months

I purchashed this dvd for myself and my daughter. After giving birth to four healthy children we were caught off guard after my daughter gave birth to 8 lb 12 oz, Jonathan, her fifth child and my eighteenth grandchild; he had Downs syndrome. We were especially surprised when my daughter had taken two different test during her pregnancy and the final result was that her unborn child didn't have it. I immediately started searching the internet for as much information as possible about Downs Syndrome and I came upon this DVD. We found the DVD to be very insightful. The visual aspects of the video helped us to identify any obstacles we would have to overcome and help answer any questions we would have. Needless, to say, we are still very truly blessed because Jonathan is making tremendous strives every day. We've found out we are not alone and the other parents that have had to travel this road have left us a road map on where to go for help and what questions to ask. It's like you've held your breath and now you can exhale because the DVD, Down Syndrome: The First 18 months, gives you that boost of 'oxygen' you need to go on. I highly recommend it to others. We're like sponges, I'm ordering as much material as I can for my entire family and hers. Would we change anything, 'NO WAY'!

As a new grandmother to a beautiful little girl recently born with Down Syndrome, I found this DVD to be very heartwarming and very uplifting. It gave me the reassurance that I needed to hear that my little grandaughter is going to be OK. To quote a line from the DVD...."you need to make a place in your family for the disability, and you also need to put the disability in it's place." The DVD is very informative and emphasizes the point that first and foremost...this is a child. I highly recommend this DVD to any family member who has been blessed with a Down Syndrome child.

A great overview and introduction for new parents. It is an overview of the main points from the book 'Babies with Down Syndrome: A new Parents Guide' by Susan Skallerup. The book provides more information but for a quick overview the DVD is great. I am more likely to get my husband to watch this rather than read the book:)

Inspiring simple guide with the all the initial essentials that parents need to know and care about when caring with their child with Down syndrome.

I bought it for my sister since the Arabic translation is included very informative!

This is a very informative . I think it will help in understanding my new Grandaughter .

Fantastic couldn't recommend this highly enough .So much positive and interesting view points .I'm a mother of 2 children ,one with down syndrome and i wish they had showed me this before I left hospital.
