Every parenting experience is different — full of challenges, downfalls, triumphs and joy. All children, whether they have a diagnosis or not, have their own set of talents and struggles. The video below is a beautiful reminder of this, where parents and siblings of children with and without Down syndrome talk honestly about the most rewarding and the most challenging experiences their families face.

Midway through, you’re asked to guess which loved ones have a child with Down syndrome and which don’t. Chances are you can’t tell the difference. The clip ends on this note: “We’re all in this together.”
