Aarshia standup : Behind the scenes ( Mom's take)

Описание: Behind the Scenes of My Daughter's stand-up shoot.
I'm so excited to share a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Aarshia's recent stand-up! This was her second stand up and even though I was so nervous for her, she was a natural! She did have a few moments of doubt but just a little hug and she was back to being the sassy and confident girl that she is.

The reason I was so happy when she chose to do the stand-up was that speech is something that I and thousands of mothers of children with Down syndrome struggle with. Overcoming that was a huge milestone and I know that if Aarshia can, everyone can speak with confidence and clarity ( of course it’s a journey but knowing it is possible is half a battle won)

I want everyone to see that Down syndrome does not define her and it shouldn’t define anyone with an extra chromosome. Our children are just like other children, and they deserve to be celebrated for who they are. They are smart, funny, and capable. They deserve to be treated with respect and dignity.

Here is my message to All Mothers
Motherhood is a wonderful journey, special or no special. It is a time of love, laughter, and learning. It is a time of growth and change. There may be ups and downs. But it is also a time of great beauty and wonder.

I want to encourage all mothers to embrace their journey and have a solid belief in the ability of their children. A child is made confident when he/she sees his worth every day in the eyes of his mother and other family members.
We are all in this together, and we need to support each other. And as they say, 'Let’s become the wind beneath our children's wings.'.So, to all mothers, special or no special. We all are amazing!


Love
D
