I really appreciate and respect how honest her dad is being
This was my thoughts
What an incredible woman. She has never let her situation stop her from doing whatever she was capable of. A lot of celebrities talk about their "causes," but do very little and soon forget about them. Not this brave young woman. She's doing great in her career too. It is to his credit that her friend and former dance partner from her victory in Strictly Come Dancing, Giovanni Pernice, has kept his word and continually speaks out and acts in support of her. Rose, you go girl.
First ever time I’ve seen Rose’s dad and he is a lovely guy it seems just like his wonderful beautiful daughter ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹
She and her dad are marvellous
No wonder Rose ia such a strong, straightforward, beautiful young lady,with parents like hers! With no help, it must have been so scary, wondering if you had done the the right thing! But look at Rose , they must be so proud! They have all be so brave doing this documentary, can't have been easy going and remembering all the struggles!! But thankyou for showing us all! So brave!!❤❤
Now you see why Rose has turn out as such an amazing person, she has parents who worked and struggled to be good parents.
I think children are served best by parents who are kind, honest and trying to do the right thing. who dont pretend, dont talk down, dont think they "know what is right". but watch and listen to there child and what they need and make sure they have every opptunity to be the best they can be.
How proud a parent must he be to see his daughter exceed all those epectation he had when she was young and prove him wrong. I know i have watched my daughter do things, and been ready to say "dont worry its ok its hard" when i think she will struggle, only see see her flying high and reminding me never to assume she will fail.
Shes so amazing❤ and hes an amazing dad too.
Wow wish i could see the full documentary here in Australia...
As a parent myself, not coping with deafness but autism with my child, if the moment in life came to me and said that they could cure my child, I would first ask my child, because acknowledge that there needs to be a fix is telling the child that he or she is not perfect, and in my eyes, with all the problems, it is perfect, my child is perfect. Sorry if anyone disagrees.
I do agree, however if you had been asked when they were a hour old, when you didnt have any experince with Autism, and they could not answer and it was your one and only chance?
I ask this as some one who is severly dyslexic and if as a child you had asked me if i could have been fixed i would say "yes" as the issues i faced then and i dont mean what people said but the struggles to get though daily life the impact it had was 90% negitive. As an adult I see the positive and the balance and would never want to be fixed. Though if some one said "we can fix the issues you have, with out taking away all the brillent bits" that would also affect my decision. With all things there are good and bad sides (and that is not people with conditions like Autisum, defness, missing limbs, etc, but the "neudo typical" people as well) every one has part of them they dont like or struggle with. So to me "curing" is a very ambigious term. My question would also be "what will it change, and what will it take away". Is what they are offering going to make my child more "accatable" in socisity, in which case I dont want to know. It it going to help my child have a happier life with less anxioity and stress.... that i might want to hear about.
My daughter has been invovled in all decision in her life since she could speak, but what about decision that need to be made before then.
I love this woman she's so inspirational and dedicated to what she does and making people more aware of deaf people and encourages sign language.. we need more of rose... Well done 👏 👏👏👌😊
It blows my mind how the medical community has encouraged parents of deaf children not to learn sign lang so they could learn how to speak. It's such a wrong stance, one that's ableist and exclusionary. How terribly lonely it must feel for the child when everyone is communicating, and they dont feel part of the conversation.
So true, sign language is so beautiful and as a hearing person i would love to learn it
As a deaf adult, Auslan teacher and early childhood educator... I can say the medical community is wrong... they have absolutely no idea the damage they are doing.... The best way for a Deaf child to learn is through sign language first and speech second... Also it is crucial for the family to sign,
She is deaf and her dad doesn’t use BSL? Must be hard to communicate. I always wonder why some parents don’t use BSL for their deaf children
It depends on when the deafness was discovered and how severe it is I guess. Most children/families already established a way to communicate and understand so singn language could feel 'forced'.
Also keep in mind that even a few years back the views on disability was different to now.
I love the progress and appreciate the dad's honesty about his thoughts and feelings back then.
The dad said that he was told when Rosie was first diagnosed _not_ to use sign language with his daughter because it would impede her learning speech.
It’s a horrible shame he was told this because it’s misleading. Whoever said it should be held accountable (but won’t be)
@@bored_fox9098 this is not true ... As a deaf adult, Auslan teacher and early childhood educator it is never too late to learn sign,,,, It would never feel forced at all
It’s so freakin sad and depressing how other people have to be so selfish to not give a shit about their own personal experiences where they came from
