226. Our Thoughts On The Netflix Series “Down For Love”

Have you heard about the Netflix series “Down For Love”?! We’ve been hearing about it from friends, family, and even one of our kid's healthcare providers, all with rave reviews. So we set aside some of the reality shows that we feel a bit guilty about admitting we’ve watched and enjoyed a wholesome reality dating show of people with Down syndrome on a quest for love. This show highlighted so many things for us to think about as parents. The conversations that we’ll need to have about boundaries and consent, what we’d want to see for our kids, and so much more. It of course brought up so many questions that we dive into like: Did the show represent all types of people with Down syndrome? Does the show honor people with Down syndrome? Is the title “Down For Love” problematic or just a fun pun? We’re diving deep into not only the show, but our thoughts (and some fears!) on our kiddos dating. This is an episode you don’t want to miss!
