🐙 Well, look who showed up again...

Our participants seem to know something we don't. Or maybe they’re just really good at keeping secrets.

“Did I do something?”​
New parents almost always ask the same thing first.​
No. Nothing.​

​Down syndrome happens at conception, in cell division. There is no research linking it to anything a parent did or did not do, before or during pregnancy.​

​It usually is not inherited either. Only one type — translocation — can be passed down, and that accounts for roughly 1% of all cases.​

​So there is nothing to trace back, and nothing to undo.​

​What actually happened is that somebody arrived.​

​And from the moment of a prenatal diagnosis onward, GiGi’s Playhouse is here. FREE, for life. Learn more here.​

Words shape how people see each other. These take a second to learn, and they are worth learning.​

​Say: an individual with Down syndrome​
Not: a Down syndrome person, or a “Downs kid”​

​Say: Down syndrome — capital D, lowercase s​
It is named after Dr. John Langdon Down, so there is no apostrophe. Not “Down’s.”​

​And never the r-word. Not as a joke, not as shorthand, not “I didn’t mean it like that.” It lands the same either way.​

​If you hear the wrong word, correct it kindly. Almost nobody means harm — most people have simply never been told, and most are glad to know.​

​Be accepting. Be generous. Be kind. Be .​
