My child is in the sixth grade, and study at the normal crass.

I worried about my child at first, but her friend Miss M supports my child, so it's very help for me.

I worried when my child goes to school, studies, takes part in event of like an excursion.

Every behavior maybe is trouble to others.

I have been to say to Miss M " I'm sorry, my child is trouble to you everyday".

But she said " Why? Your child is not trouble. I enjoy the time with your child, and she is normal".

I took my hat off to her.

The friends from Miss M down feel that my child is " Normal".

This is great.

I'm her mother, but I even think that she is not normal.

I remember that she said in the bed "When can I remain with Miss M".

Although she is a child, she understands she is a handicapped person.

I cried restraining my voice.

When? When does she remain "Normal"? I cannot expect honest. But I train various things severely because my child will can be with Miss M all the time. Be "Normal" child is difficult. I feel everyday that my child is cute, because she makes an effort.

"Normal" child forever!

 

 

Disneyland.   By Kengo's father

 

Kengo made much memory ever, but the most impressive memory is that Kengo was lost in the Disneyland.

After lunch, his mother and I went to the shop to buy the presents, but Kengo went to the direction of the Cinderella castle by that attraction.

I was surprised very much.

Kengo was very young yet, and he said only his name.

His mother and I looked for Kengo in a loud voice " Kengo! Kengo! " without inhibition.

His mother dashed toward the Cinderella castle.

But Kengo was smarter than us.

He waited in front of the restaurant where we went at the last.

Yes, the restaurant is the place that we surely go.

His mother hugged Kengo crying unconsciously.

We ware deeply impressed, because Kengo was wiser than our thought.

I hope Kengo will be surprising man in the future.

I'm sorry then for taking my eye off.

 

 

Friends.   By Arisa's mother

 

This is the story about my daughter Arisa, she is the third grade, and she is Down syndrome.

She spends at the supported class at the normal school. She attends the music, the physical education and the school lunch classes with normal children. But she can't sing well, run fast, and use the chopstick.

But it seems that she has the friends. They teach how to read the music at the music class, run together at the physical education, and eat seating next to Arisa. Moreover various friends take it in turns to take care of Arisa. I think it's great environment.

But sometimes she is made fun of from the other classmate. She is surely short and characteristic face. She is said as like "Hey! Shorter! ". I hear that then Arisa's friends make a counterattack. They say, "Why don't you understand her charm?" "Get back at you by a hundred times!" "Arisa is the gift from the god!" Cries of rage rise from friends. Arisa doesn't weep because she senses her friends feeling. There are many friends for her.

Sad to say, her friend was made fun of from a boy. Then Arisa hanged on to the boy, and bit at his leg. And his leg was bleeding. I heard that from the teacher, so hurry to the school by the car. I scolded Arisa in front of the boy, his mother, and teachers. Arisa wailed. Arisa and I apologized to them.

But I hugged Arisa tightly when we ride on my car, and said "Well done!" I praised Arisa, and said, "Your behavior angered them, but it's not mistake. Really well done." Then I bought a cake for her reward. And I can look at many persons in front of my house when I drove toward my home. I thought, "What happened?" then I understood it. There ware her friends to meet Arisa. The number of the friends was 40. Arisa got off the car with the blessing of everyone. She gave her cake to the boy who was made fun of, although she wanted to eat herself. And she best smiled for reward words. I was crying in the car with that sight. There ware very tender friends around Arisa. And Arisa will be tender too. I feel this is the merit of Down syndrome. She isn't inferior. Surely, there is much inferior point, but she has special power. Please find good point of down syndrome person. There are certainly. There are.

My son, who is third grade, drew the picture.

It was homework of the school.

He was drawing the square picture by shocking pink pen which he like.

I asked "The car?" and he answered "...Yes."

I felt it was not the car.

But he asked "Yes" it was his tenderness.

At that day, he drew the picture till late at night.

There is a sequel to it; his picture is gold award of the school!

He belongs to the support class.

It's the first time getting the award of the school from the support class.

Much more gold award! All teachers, students and parents expected such an ending.

The title is "The car"

The reason for award is my smiling driving my car.

He drew my face driving the car after my asking "The car?"

The smiling is best.

He thinks I drive my car because I like my car.

I reminisced that I used my car to go to the hospital and the school with him from he is the baby.

He thought "The car equal my smiling" because he looked at my smiling taking with him and listening his taking.

Milk   By brother's mother

 

My son once had a favorite girl; her name is A when he went to the day-care center.

Miss A is one year younger than him.

He first tried to have his way because he doesn't want to go to the day-care center, but he changed to enjoy there.

He went to A's room at the free time.

He taught how to use the toys and so on.

The chief praised him for teaching the other kids but only Miss A.

He aimed for become reliable boy, so he was called "Brother" from all kids.

But it happened the shocking thing.

My son, is down syndrome, became shorter than Miss A.

This came home to him, and said not to go to the day-care center.

He really was absent from the day-care center.

In these days, the joyful guest has come my house.

The classmate from Miss A down came my house.

"Cheer up the brother! "

"Let's play again with us!"

"Please teach us more!"

All classmates said words of encouragement.

They came my house on a school excursion. The chief arranged it.

My son said to classmate "No more to teach for you!"

All classmates fell silent.

My son continued talking "But I have the thing teaching from you, ...so I will go to the day-care center "

The classmate ware moved his words.

All classmates said "Thank you!"

Miss A had present for my son, it's the milk.

She gave him a small pack of milk.

She intended "Grow by the milk"

All classmate burst of laughter.

Then my son went to the day-care center like before.

He has drunk the milk everyday.

His height is higher than Miss A again.

But he must graduate the day-car center.

It's sad graduation for my son.

My son went to go to the supported class at the normal school.

Miss A will go to the normal class at the same school.

My son maybe went to Miss A's class like before.

But he isn't called "The brother".

Hard situation will be waiting.

But my son is optimistic, and he drinks the milk everyday.

I can't guess how his elementary school life will be, but I believe that it will happen good thing for him, and I see him to the school.

 

 

Mr.K   By rabbit

 

My son Masahiko belongs to normal class.

He is fifth grade now, and the same class with Mr.K for five years who lives near my house.

My son depends on Mr.K every time.

Mr.K takes care of my son every day, at going to the school, the class and the break time.

Mr.K waits and sees my son when my son wastes their time on their way school. Sometimes they are late. But Mr.K doesn't let my son hurry up.

Mr.K waits and sees till when my son is satisfied. And Mr.K apologizes to the teacher when they are late. The teacher angered at first time, but Mr.K said, "It's the study to waste for Masahiko!" The teacher said then "OK. Study to waste to his heart's content, but you must teach him at the break time. "

Mr.K asked like this, "Easy Sir!" with a salute.

The classmate laughed by his answer.

By the way, Masahiko has not been made fun of ever.

This is great.

It's surely because of Mr.K.

Mr.K taught him the magic trick. And Masahiko conjures that at the break time. Several classmates see his magic trick. But he just cannot conjure, so he is found out. It's the very funny. The classmates have a good time, and Masahiko is delighted too. I think this environment is really beautiful. I thank Mr.K.

Can Masahiko go to the same junior high school with Mr.K?

That's my dream...

 

 

Gift from the god   By sister of Kazuto

 

I ran to the hospital delightedly when my brother was born.

I was glad to get my brother because I was alone.

But at a one month after his birth, I hear from my father "Kazuto has handicapped."

It's the Down syndrome.

I researched into the Down syndrome by the Internet with my father.

There are many web sites.

I researched into the history, the symptom, the complication, and the blog of the Down syndrome.

My father said, "Maybe it's not so worry."

But I didn't think so, because maybe he has the complications.

After that, I feel that my father said that to be relieve me.

Since then, the much emotions have came, the comfort, the crying, and the smiling.

I have a wonder experience which is my family will be the same around Kazuto.

All family can accept Kazuto from the depths to usual.

My father said, "Kazuto is gift from the god."

Then my mother has a good cry, although she didn't cry any time. She burst out crying. Crying and crying, and she said, "I'm sorry."

I said, "You are not bad. You should not apologize. We can accept his syndrome. We researched about it, but there is not any worry. "

During saying, I feel I said so to be relieving her now.

"Love for family increases", the nurse said so. And she said, "If the baby who is Down syndrome is birth, the family will be the same."

The nurse's words carry weight, because she has seen many families.

Really love for family increased. I think we can overcome any difficulty. Thank Kazuto for your birth.

There is a complication. There is a small hole at his heart, and he will operate when he grow. But the other is fine. He really is like an angel, gift from the god. I think we bring up him importantly.

My mother sometimes cries now, then my father and I cheer up. And if my mother cries, mysteriously Kazuto smiles. We can't understand why he smiles, but anyway he does.

"He is to be relieve us." My father said.

Mysteriously Kazuto is to be relieving his mother now.

We all support my mother. Hardest person is my mother. We know that, so we share the hardships. There is such love for family in my home. My friend says enviably "I want to have the baby like him." "He is nice boy." It's my pride.

 

 

Happiness   By crybaby

 

My daughter always says "Good!" at meals." The fish is good!" "The meat is good!" "The rise is good!"

By the way, I hear rude words with my daughter at the shopping. "She isn't cute because of down syndrome." The words are said from the boy who is the near age to my daughter. The boy's mother apologized right way, but we really ware hurt. My daughter said, "He is Mr.Taro" after they left. I was surprised and asked her "Do you know him?" She said, " I join his class at music and physical education." My daughter is fifth grade at the normal school and joins in the normal class at music and physical education. So he is her classmate. I asked her "Did you said such words usually?" so she answered "Yes." She was frank. The murder began to stir in my mind. I controlled my anger with clenched teeth.

I made a dish cooked at the table at that day's dinner. I wanted to enjoy with my family. So I told my husband to go back home early. Usually, he ate dinner alone at late. But she was said such a thing, so I told and ask him to go back early.

We ate dinner all together after the long time. My daughter said continuously "Good!" My husband heard it first time. So he asked her "Do you say so usually?" and she answered "Because of good food usually." "It's happy" he said...I unconsciously cried by his words, and came home to me the words "She isn't cute because of down syndrome." He said to me "Crying is the best when you want to cry. The happiness comes for crying. Today, we ate dinner together, further she says [Good!] Don't mind!" But he cries too. My daughter did not cry yet, far from it she said "Good!" again and again. How tough she is. It's no occasion for crying. I thought so.

At the night we slept three abreast after the long time. It's about twenty-four o'clock; I heard her voice crying, "I'm not Down syndrome..." I went to the toilet, and cried without voice. She struggles with Down syndrome. All time. Then, I listened someone knocking on the door, and heard the voice "I want to cry with you." I opened the door, and my husband came to the small toilet. We cried in the toilet. It' was strange scene, but it was very heart-warming. It was happiness since he said, "No problem! Let's bring up!" when we were knew my daughter is Down syndrome. And, it was happiness when he said in a loud voice at the restaurant "Please marriage with me!" Then I feel that there was much happiness.

Next day, my husband went to his company, and my daughter and I ate the breakfast. Then my daughter said, "Yesterday you were crying, why?" I can't talk anything. Then she said, "Crying is the best when you want to cry, isn't it?" She said like her father. "Yes, I'm OK. No more crying." But I cries a little saying so. Because she noticed all thing, and she left us. She waits and sees until we stopped crying...I feel various emotions. Her toughness is her father origin. No, it's more than him. "Good!" her voice also resounds at the table today.

 

 

Special look   By brother

 

My younger brother is Down syndrome.

But my family decided that we don't special look.

He is fortunately healthy because of no complication.

We let him eat himself.

He desperately eats with chopstick falling foods.

It's takes an hour for a meal.

But we don't help; it's the rule of my family.

I often play a card with him. We play "SPEED", but I don't cut corners. It's the serious play. With the worth effort, the record of the results of games became fifty-fifty. He is stronger than I at playing "NERVOUS BREAKDOWN"

He is a schoolboy and studies at the supported class. But he is proud of math, so he studies only math at the normal class. That's because my mother taught him addition and subtraction before the admission. "I want him to be not special looked", it's my mother's principle. She says "I'm not felt pity for." My brother is really Down syndrome, but she says "That's why." She wants to bring up him without differences. She got angry when he was decided to go on to the supported class, but the normal class. She got angry with tears. She muttered "I feel frustrated." But she cheerfully sees him off everyday now, because he enjoys going to the school. He has a clearest head at the supported class. It's my mother's pride. She is delighted saying, "See? He is clear isn't it?" and she hopes that he can study at the normal class in the junior high school. I think so too.

"Don't special look"...it's the rule of my family, but it's difficult. My father said once, "it's special look when we say, "Don't special look"." My mother became cheerless. I keenly realized that we treat him as a normal child. My mother eagerly said, "It's real that he is not normal. But I should not treat specially. I let him do as normal child, any difficulty on there. I think that's equal to not special look. Then the people around him will treat him as a normal child." "May be" my father said. I told that the people around him don't treat him as an abnormal. Really, I once have heard his classmate at math, "How about my brother? ", so they said, "No problem. He is normal." Among them said, "he is better than me at math", "Does he have really handicapped? " My mother cried by hearing that. She cried hugging my brother. She said, "you are blessed with great classmate." She praised me saying "thank you for hearing his classmate voice."

"Don't special look"...maybe it's too difficult. But we will not give up.

 

 

Friendly idol   By Kazuya' mother

 

I have heard from his day-care center teacher that if he is the argument is not happened.

When classmates will start the argument, he says, "let's enjoy" with the toy for each one.

He has quick wit or isn't frightened; it becomes peaceful at any rate.

And the classmates who will start the argument give him the toys, and enjoy with him.

My son Kazuya is friendly idol.

He enjoy together them by loving from the classmates.

He often says "it's happy the enjoy more than the fight"

I consent his thought.

I once thought that maybe he can look at the truth.

He can find a way out of those situations, any other cannot find.

He has the power of the friendly.

I can't express, but I think he has the special power, although he has sadly most bad point.

Please be friendly idol at the class and the family.

I hope!
