  • 1.  Do you know what is The "Lots of Socks" campaign 🧦?

    Posted 21 days ago
    Three years ago, my family and I forged a friendship that turned into brotherhood, because we learn more each day about what love, loyal friendship, overcoming challenges, sharing, and achievements truly mean, and I am immensely grateful for all of this and so much more!
    
    That's why today we celebrate with great joy this day, where in reality, every day is a day when we must have an empathetic, caring, and thoughtful perspective, knowing that each person is unique, and that's what makes the world more beautiful. 😍
    
    March 21st is International Down Syndrome Day! 💙💛
    
    The "Lots of Socks" campaign 🧦, celebrated worldwide on this day, inspires us to value diversity in a lighthearted, fun, and meaningful way. By wearing mismatched and colorful socks, we represent, in a simple and symbolic way, that being different is something natural, beautiful, and essential.
    
    The date 21/03 was not chosen by chance; it represents Trisomy 21.
    
    More than a symbolic gesture, this is an invitation to reflect and talk at home. Children learn primarily by example.
    
    Talk naturally about differences; in this way, we help build essential values ​​such as respect, empathy, acceptance, and love for others 💛
    
    It's important to show our children that each person has their own time, their own characteristics, their own talents, and their own way of learning and expressing themselves-and that's okay 🌈
    
    The world doesn't need identical people.
    
    He needs people who know how to coexist, respect, and value what makes each person unique ✨
    
    🧦 Put on your colorful socks
    
    I've already chosen mine 💙🧦💛

    In my opinion, disability/syndrome is a topic rarely discussed anywhere.
     
    I have a daughter with special needs, and when that happens, you start to see everything differently (for the better, I mean).
     
    Obviously, I wish she were a normal child, YES, but I'm not hypocritical but everything we do is always to fit into her world, everything slower, with schedules, routines that won't stress her out...etc.
     
    My daughter is 15 years old and has the mind (mentality) of a 4-year-old... in other words, she's a giant baby, haha...
     
    Regarding socks, at school I could send them with separate socks; she doesn't wear different socks at all, hahaha.
