/^t/Naturally, no one can deny parents' right to decide whether they want to deal with the problem of their child or let it be solved by an appropriate institution. Still, it is more human to take into consideration a child's right to live a good life. This is bound to happen in a loving family; although, it is not impossible in a special centre for retarded. One must remember, however, that such institutions tend to generalize and do not pay sufficient attention to the differences between kinds of retardation. It is scientifically prooved that there are no two the same retarded children. Thus, only in their own home can they find individual approach and care based on true love. With the help of attentive parents, retarded children are given the possibility of discovering their strong sides; those with Down's Syndrome for instance, are good at sorting, packaging, and at simple machine operations. They parents observe that they found it funny and are very glad and proud being paid for that, without even knowing that they contributed to the society. Certainly, they are not able to earn their living and the question arises as to their future after parents' death. Contrary to the common opinion, retarded child does not have to be a burden to the rest of the family, which sometimes is willingful to take care. Usually parents provide financial security for their child so it can find a happy place in one of the residence homes for the retarded. They are like clubs or families with home-mother or manager, where work is shared and everybody can find one's fulfilment.
