Abstract

<p>This paper focuses on the life practices of mothers who shape their lives with their differently abled children. The narratives of three mothers of children with Down syndrome were used to examine the mothers’ motivations for continuing to take charge of their care.</p><p>This is a social process in which mothers acquire the motivation to continue taking care of their children through similar life practices that combine the relationship with the child and the surrounding environment. Care for children in this social process is also one of the life practices to lead a sustainable life.</p>
