💙💛 DID YOU KNOW? 💛💙
Talking to yourself isn’t always just talking to yourself! 🗣️💙
Many (but not all) people with Down syndrome use self-talk as a way to process the world around them. It can be a helpful tool for thinking, learning, and navigating everyday life!
Self-talk may help them:
💙 Process information
💛 Manage stress and emotions
💙 Review events from the day
💛 Work through problems
💙 Encourage themselves
💛 Have fun and entertain themselves
Sometimes, what sounds like talking to no one is actually an important conversation happening within! 💛
Just like everyone else, people with Down syndrome have their own unique ways of thinking, learning, and expressing themselves. What matters is understanding, accepting, and celebrating those differences. 💙
