This study, called HomeGrown, is testing a program designed to help families of young children with Down syndrome make healthy changes at home. The program provides online tools, resources, and monthly support calls to encourage healthy eating and physical activity. This is important because most existing programs for healthy living haven't been created specifically for children with Down syndrome. You might be able to join if you are an adult caregiver (18 or older) of a child with Down syndrome between 2 and 6 years old, have internet access, and can read English. Your child must also be 2-6 years old, have Down syndrome, and not rely on tube feeding. The study aims to see how many people join, how engaged they are, and how many stay in the study for 6 months.
