As a parent, your main priority is to ensure the safety, happiness, and well-being of your child. For Melanie Droubay, sending her toddler, Huddy, to preschool has been a particularly difficult decision. It is Huddy’s first time venturing out into the world without his mother by his side, a situation that can be stressful for any parent. However, Melanie openly acknowledges that her concerns are heightened because Huddy has Down syndrome.
Melanie has always been there for her three-year-old son, ready to protect him from any harm. However, she understands that she can’t always be by his side. To address this, Melanie has incorporated positive affirmations into their morning routine.
Toddler With Down Syndrome Says Positive Affirmations for Kids Before Preschool
@ourhuddybuddy I cried when I took Huddy to his first day of preschool. I cried because it was the beginning of me not always being there with him… to protect him, to stand up for him, to make sure nothing happens to him. It was the beginning of sending him out into this world on his own. And it’s a little bit terrifying to do that, especially as a parent of a child with a disability. I know I can’t be with him forever. But…. I’m hoping that these daily affirmations we say together CAN be. I hope these words we say together every morning will always be there in the back of his mind, reminding him of how worthy, valued and loved he is. That even when I’m not there with him, he’ll be able to remember my voice saying: You are strong You are smart You are beautiful You are brave You are kind You are loved ❤️ #positiveaffirmations #positivetalk #downsyndrome #toddlerlife #downsyndromefamily #downsyndromeisbeautiful #differentisbeautiful #differentnotless #extrachromosome #lovedoesntcountchromosomes #advocatelikeamother #bepositive #dailyaffirmations #utahmom #utahlife #morealikethandifferent #changingperceptions #youaresmart #youarestrong #youarebrave #youarebeautiful #youarekind #youareworthy #youareloved #youareperfect
“I understand that our time together is limited,” Melanie confides. “However, I believe that the daily affirmations we share can have a lasting impact.”
Melanie took to sharing their daily positive affirmations in a video to inspire others. The video showcases a joyful Huddy confidently stating empowering phrases like “I am strong,” “I am smart,” and “I am beautiful.” Melanie hopes that these words, and the positive emotions they evoke, will stay with Huddy throughout his day.
Melanie expresses her heartfelt desire that the words they say together every morning will remain etched in the depths of his mind, serving as a constant reminder of his worth, value, and the love he receives. Even in her absence, she hopes that the sound of her voice will resonate within him, affirming that he is strong, intelligent, beautiful, courageous, kind, and deeply cherished.
