Book Description
"...This book sets out to fill that gap in the literature available to parents. It helps them to understand the condition by explaining the medical details in lay terms, with photographs and diagrams showing the different characteristics and the vital chromosomes that create Down's Syndrome. It helps the parents to come to a decision about keeping the baby or putting it into care, and for those who choose to care for the child themselves it goes into the problems that can arise in families with a Down's Syndrome child: stress between husband and wife, difficulties with the other children and possible pressure from the grandparents. The author's long experience with handicapped children and their parents enables him to give sympathetic guidance on how to cope..." -- Book cover.
