    Down Syndrome Centre Cork

    When you are told that your new born baby has Down syndrome it is quite natural to experience a number of emotions at any given time, particularly during the first few weeks and months. For some parents it is one of shock as they have had no advance warning, for some it is disappointment that they were not handed the baby they anticipated and for others it’s a worry of what lies ahead. All these emotions are very common, however in time, parents come to realise that they have a tiny baby that requires the same love and attention as any other baby who has his/her own special little personality that will develop and inspire you over the years. Once parents have had time to enjoy their new baby and are ready to look for a little more support or meet other mums and dads for a coffee and to share experiences, then The Down Syndrome Centre Cork is there to help you. The Down Syndrome Centre on Forge Hill in Cork City was established in 2014 by a group of parents who could not find support or services for their children. Eight years later the centre provides vital intervention services to young children with Down syndrome and their families. The centre has a wonderful home-from-home atmosphere where families feel relaxed, and the children can thrive. It is so important to have a welcoming community where families can share their experiences and support each other. Show your support and follow @downsyndromecentrecork on Instagram and Facebook and if you can, get involved with their fundraising. #downsyndrome #downsyndromeawareness Hosted on Acast.

    Adam's Cloud

    In Episode 10 Frank talks to Benji Bennett, author of the award-winning Adam’s Cloud books. Benji tells us his story and explains why he has written these beautiful books. When we tell children they are loved every day we teach them to both love and be loved. We reassure them, teach them empathy, and help them display emotion and affection and build confidence and lines of communication. From love comes love. From love comes respect for both parents, for themselves and people around them. Because of the powerful emotional connection made through reading combined with the positive bonding benefits that intimate one on one time has on children’s happiness from birth, Adam’s message simply encourages parents to spend 10 minutes reading with their children and telling them they love them each night before they go to sleep. Also, as Adam benefited hugely from regular adventures outdoors immersed in nature, another key ingredient to children’s happiness is regular family days out walking, climbing, playing or simply chatting together. “If you read to your children from the moment they are born, tell them you love them and take them for a walk as often as you can you are doing something right. The rest we just have to figure out as we go.” Benji Bennett. There are now 9 Adam’s Cloud books available to buy. These are truly beautiful books to read with your children and books your children will treasure. For more information about Adam’s Cloud and the amazing work Benji and Jackie Bennett do, see their website The Packs - Adam's Cloud (adamscloud.com) or follow them on Instagram @adams­_cloud #newepisode #podcastsforparents #thehappybabypodcast #parenting #bedtime #children #lovetoread #adamscloud #applepodcasts #spotifypodcasts #childrensbooks #iloveyou #irishmammy #newirishmum # Hosted on Acast.
