Parenting a Child With Disability
How do I bring up this child? Is a frequently asked question by many parents who come face to face with a child with disability. The problem starts when the doctor announces that the child has a disability. The first reaction of the parent is denial,” my child is not disabled, the doctor made a mistake”. The grandparents add to this saying some uncle or aunty was like this but then they became normal. So there is no need for anxiety. Everything will become normal. But when there is no improvement the next step is to shop around for a cure from pillar to post. Parents refuse to listen to the doctors’ suggestions. Parents expect some miracle and after shopping around ends up either with over protection or with rejection.
