What to do if a child with cerebral palsy doesn't want to

For the whole family, if the child has cerebral palsy, it will be a huge blow to the parents. However, as parents, they must take their children to actively undergo rehabilitation treatment. The earlier the treatment, the better the effect will be. This will also help the child gradually improve his or her self-care ability after adulthood. If the treatment effect is relatively good, the child will gradually build up good confidence in his or her future life. There are many examples in this regard. As parents, you must be responsible.

Rehabilitation nursing for children with cerebral palsy

1. Improve the living environment of children with cerebral palsy.

During daily care, it is important to keep the child's living space clean, open windows for ventilation regularly, disinfect the air and ground regularly, take children with cerebral palsy outdoors often, carefully maintain the child's hygiene, and keep them away from dangerous objects to prevent accidents.

2. Improve your daily diet.

Children with cerebral palsy should be provided with high-calorie, high-protein, vitamin-rich, and easily digestible foods. Children who have difficulty eating independently should receive dietary training. When feeding, do not forcibly pull out the spoon when the child's teeth are clenched to avoid damaging the teeth.

3. Language training.

Language training is a step that is easily overlooked in daily care, and it is also difficult to achieve the training goal. Therefore, during the daily care process, we must find ways to increase the amount of speech of the child. Regardless of whether the child with cerebral palsy understands or not, we must find ways to use various opportunities to talk to the child, and repeatedly encourage the child to speak. When the child speaks, immediately talk and respond to him/her, give more praise and compliments, and use the various desires of the child with cerebral palsy to encourage his/her enthusiasm for speaking.

4. Improvement of daily living.

Choose clothes that are easy to put on and take off for the child. When changing clothes, the more seriously ill limb should be put on first and taken off last. Provide hygiene training according to the age of the child. As children with cerebral palsy grow older, they should be taught to inform adults before defecating, use toilet paper, and put on and take off pants.
