Question
How should parents cope with a child’s 21 chromosome abnormality?
Answer
Trisomy 21, also known as Down syndrome, is a chromosomal disorder with no known effective cure. The severity of the condition varies, with some mild cases allowing children to live independently. If the child does not have congenital heart disease, parents can engage in comprehensive promotion and special training, including physical activities, intellectual, language development, and special training in daily living skills, in hopes of achieving the best possible outcome for the child. We hope these suggestions will help parents of children with this condition and wish you health!
