The paper illustrates a practice, which we have called ‘marking’, observed in play interactions between parents and children with Down syndrome (DS) aged 3–8 years. Markings are minimal turns that rely on prosody, embodied resources and indexicality to foreground events within an ongoing activity and convey a stance toward them. Markings can be both retrospective and prospective (i.e. referring to a just-occurred or an incipient event). As first pair parts, they are open action bids that prompt recipients to display their co-orientation towards the referent. Responses from parents (i.e. second markings) can take the form of repeats or expansions; after prospective marking the recipient can also add support to the incipient activity the child has marked. We discuss marking as the core constituent of a larger family of actions for ‘sharing noteworthiness’, but also as a designedly undetermined action bid with specific conversational uses for children and adults alike.

Sociocultural Approach

Studies on children with Down syndrome have been on the rise in recent years because interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches have been developed to understand both parents and children with Down syndrome. This study aimed to analyze the views of Turkish parents of children with Down syndrome from a critical sociocultural perspective. Five families of children with Down syndrome were interviewed. These families discussed their views composed of medical and familial discourses, legal rights, bureaucracy, sociality, socialization, outsiders’ perspectives, criticism to educational and medical system and resistance through social dialogue. The qualitative results of the study show that the families developed a different discourse that resisted the conventional discourses created by medical institutions and macro social structures. In addition, negative and pessimistic perspectives of others were, to a large extent, eliminated and transformed into more positive and optimistic viewpoints through social dialogue and constructive narratives.

Purpose This study investigated maternal and paternal command use and child compliance in children with Down syndrome during mother–child and father–child free-play interactions. We also examined child compliance to direct versus indirect commands, and the relationships between maternal command use, paternal command use, child compliance, and child speech and language abilities. Method Fifteen families including a mother, father, and child with Down syndrome participated. Mother–child and father–child dyads participated in free-play interactions. We coded overall parent command use, command type (direct or indirect), and child compliance with the commands. Child language abilities were measured using a standardized assessment as well as during free-play. Results Mothers and fathers of children with Down syndrome used a similar number of commands, and children complied similarly across interactions. Children were more likely to comply with direct versus indirect commands. Parent command use was related to child language abilities in different ways for mothers and fathers. Child compliance was not related to receptive or expressive language abilities. Conclusions Mothers and fathers of children with Down syndrome use commands in similar ways but may base their command use on different child factors. Using direct commands with children with Down syndrome may be beneficial when increasing compliance during early interactions.

Depth Interviews

Discrimination towards children with down syndrome is still happening. Courtesy stigma concept makes parents with down syndrome children feel discrimination. Parents are the sole social support of the child. POTADS purpose as a platform for other Indonesians’ parents and children to show their support with each other who faced the same problem. They can support it through WhatsApp group and open for anyone who faced discrimination. Phenomenology method used to find how the consciousness of four informants called by Mrs. Leli, Mrs. Ni Luh, Mrs. Ernie, and Mrs. Nunung in using POTADS WhatsApp group. The conscious experiences will create an interpretation of it. In-depth interviews were conducted to obtain research data. The result shows that this group is beneficial because, in addition to being able to get useful information support for childcare, they also get the emotional support that is useful as a shield against courtesy stigma. The support they get from the WhatsApp group is further enhanced when there is a face-to-face meeting.
