/^t/There are number of reasons which support the idea of bringing up a child with Down's Syndrome at home. First of all, it is beneficial to the child from the medical point of view, because it gives such a child the opportunity of good physical and mental development. Secondly, ethical and moral values, which guide people through their lives, tell that parents cannot exclude their own child from the family. Finally, the idea has advocates among family members and examples of such families convince that it is beneficial not only to a child, but also to a family. It should be underlined that parents of a child with Down's Syndrome should be supported in their effort by society. Unfortunately, society is still prejudiced against such children and very often they are discriminated against and laughed at, as if it was their fault being born with Down's Syndrome. People must realize that it could have happened to anybody and they must show some understanding and respect both for the child and for the family. That would certainly help parents in their effort to bring up a child with Down's Syndrome at home.
