Raising awareness about the Down syndrom children

Rachel Campos-Duffy appeared on the show with her four-year-old daughter, Valentina to raise awareness on Down Syndrome Day.

As they were introduced, Valentina cheerfully waved and greeted the audience with a bright “hi,” instantly winning hearts.

During the segment her mom took the opportunity to say. “I think it’s really important to raise awareness because actually, a lot of women get this diagnosis, a lot of them, and they will get fearful,” she explained.

She reassured viewers that children with Down syndrome are like any other child, facing only a few additional challenges, sometimes medical in nature. “Some of them are prone to heart conditions, maybe some thyroid stuff. But all of that is very treatable,” she said, encouraging families not to be afraid.

Campos-Duffy praised Valentina, calling her a source of joy and love in their household. “She is as lovely, as precious, as joyful as any other child,” she said. “In fact, I would say our family is better because of her. I think our kids have learned tolerance and patience. They’ve learned to be helpful,” she shared.

During the segment, Valentina showcased her Pilates skills to Ainsley Earhardt and happily played around the studio, capturing the hearts of those around her. Campos-Duffy added that Valentina is the family’s favorite, a beloved presence who has made their lives richer and more fulfilling.
