“Dad, why does Mike’s dad carry him up our stairs? Is he just lazy?”

“Grandma, why does Sam use a really big stroller? He’s not a baby anymore…”

“Mrs. Jones… how come Robert sits a lot during recess? Why doesn’t he want to play with us?”

Just like adults, kids have questions about Duchenne, too. These BrainPop videos on YouTube – in both English and Spanish – are just some of the many outstanding kid resources to start those Duchenne conversations with our younger generations.

At just 4 minutes long, it’s a great intro for siblings, cousins, peers or classmates to learn a little more about their family member or friend with Duchenne.

The video covers a wide variety of Duchenne topics – from Gower’s maneuver to fatty deposits in muscles to the power chair to basic genetics – in an interesting, kid friendly way. Any of the topics it covers could start great conversations between a child and an adult.

Kids have questions…let’s talk with them.
