Summary

In this episode, I interviewed Summer Adamson, a children’s book author, influencer, and passionate advocate for children with Down Syndrome. Summer shared her deeply personal and inspiring journey of motherhood, particularly focusing on the surprise diagnosis of her third child, Jayne, with Down syndrome. We delved into the initial shock, the challenges, and the immense growth and joy Jayne brought to their family. Summer opened up about the importance of celebrating each child’s unique milestones and the power of positive, person-first language. She provided invaluable advice on teaching children inclusivity and kindness, drawing from her own family’s experiences and the special bond between Jayne and her siblings. We also explored the profound impact of faith in their lives, highlighting Jayne’s deep connection with Jesus and how it has provided her with strength and courage. Additionally, Summer introduced her upcoming children’s book, “A Little Extra Jayne,” inspired by her daughter. The book aims to help children find common ground with those who have Down syndrome, and establish more relationships and friendships. This episode is a touching reminder of the power of love, acceptance, and the incredible lessons we learn from our children. I hope you find Summer’s insights as inspiring as I did!
