Mum records moving song to spread positive message on children with Down’s Syndrome

A mum from Northern Ireland has recorded a moving song as her son turns one in order to help spread a positive message about Down’s syndrome.

Peter and Sara did not know that their son had Down’s syndrome until after he was born. Sara said:

“The scary thing was we didn’t know anything about Down’s Syndrome so the first thing you do is you skip forward 20 years and you think, what is this going to be like”.

But as time passed and they spent more time getting to know their son Tom, these concerns began to fade and now Tom brings so much joy to their lives. Sara continued:

“But now we know a bit more, we’ve connected with other families and we know that early intervention is key with physio and speech therapy and now we know better I want to help other new parents”.

Sara has taken up blogging about their lives to raise awareness and spread a positive message about Down’s syndrome. Sara, who also sings in her spare time, has recently recorded a song for her son to celebrate his first birthday and show how special life with him has been.

“It’s been incredible. He is just such a good baby. We just want other parents to know that it’s going to be OK, it’s going to be better than OK, it’s going to be great!”

“Down’s Syndrome isn’t something to be feared, we love our lives, we love Tom!”

“If we could have watched a video like the one we made the day he was born we just would have felt so much better, so that’s what we want to do to help other parents who got the surprise we did”.
