Socialization of special children is a sore point for their mothers. It is difficult for society to see something imperfect nearby and calmly accept it. Therefore, in Britain, 50 mothers of children with Down syndrome decided to record music videos with the participation of their babies.
And then the fragments were combined. This is how the video “50 moms. 50 children. 1 extra chromosome.” One of the little singers featured in the video was Francesca Lockwood. Her charm and talent did not go unnoticed. As a result, a contract was signed with the baby by Zebedee Management. This company represents brands of clothing for children and develops an inclusive approach in the modeling business.
I must say that Francesca is not embarrassed at all: she really likes to pose and be photographed. Melissa, the mother of the baby, says that it is very important to ensure equality and new opportunities for children who are different. Children should know that disability is not the end, they can fulfill themselves and achieve their goals.
It is also important to develop tolerance in ordinary people. In terms of her level of development, little Francesca differs from her peers, she needs special procedures and classes. However, this does not stop the mother – she knows that her daughter will cope with everything. For example, the girl did not walk until the age of 2, but now you can’t stop her, says her mother.
Francesca has an older brother and sister, they are friendly with each other, although sometimes they quarrel. Melissa believes that it is imperative to show a special child that he is treated like other children. “Of course, we are more lenient towards Francesca, but we do not need outsiders to make indulgences because of the diagnosis. Our daughter is very capable and talented. And also purposeful. We are very proud of her. I wouldn’t trade her for anyone in the world.”
