Guest guest Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Hello there!Did you ever explain to your typical twin about their sibling having Ds and if so, what age? My boys are almost 5 and Ray hasn't asked about Sam and why he does or doesn't do things yet, but we do have to tell him sometimes that he doesn't learn or grow as fast or that he doesn't understand some things the same way. Just wondering if we should go into more detail at this point or wait until he's older. I was just appreciating this weekend that he hasn't asked and doesn't know, BUT, I sometimes wonder if it would help him understand Sam better and be more patient with him. I know there is movies and books that help with explaining, but just wondering when is a good time. I met a local mom here that has a son in middle school and they have never discussed to him that he has Ds and I'm not sure that is the best thing for him. I feel he should know all about himself and be armed with knowledge in case he runs into any issues with peers. Any input is appreciated!Thank you!Sherry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
