Happy World Down Syndrome Day!

11/26/2021

On this Thanksgiving, this food-centered holiday, please remember the children who don’t eat, who won’t eat, who nibble, who lick, who avoid the dinner table altogether, who eat with a tube in their nose or their ‘button’, who eat only mashed potatoes, or who eat through a straw— they are not being difficult. They are not being manipulative. They have pediatric feeding disorder. Please respect them and their abilities. Show their parents and caregivers grace and love —everyone is doing their very best.

And please remember there are many ways to celebrate and enjoy one another, with and without food.
