We have to stand by the belief that toys are on some level helpful in the upbringing of a child. 

They not only build a sense of personality, but they also help develop a child's imagination. 

And, as parents, we know that it is that very sense of imagination that brings about character. 

A Reddit user posted that there is a store selling dolls with Down Syndrome

It not only sat well with us, it sat well with many people out there. 

This not only shows that we are beginning to form part of a community of inclusion, but it also helps us to be more aware of what our communities consist of.

The people of Reddit came together in the comments section to share their personal views about the doll. 

It seems the comments section was successful in creating a positive outlook when it comes to Down Syndrome kids. 

We could even say that there was a community of upliftment just by seeing the doll post. 

The doll is Baby Amelia and we can imagine the positive reinforcements she and her fellow dolls will have on both kids with down syndrome and those without.
