The pregnancy period is very important for every woman who wants to have a child. At every stage of this period, expectant mothers wonder about their children and dream about their future. Families who learn that their baby is physically or mentally disabled in the womb or after the child is born may have some difficulties in accepting the situation. From the moment your child is born, there may be reactions or characteristics that worry you, upset you, or that you cannot resolve. But no matter what the situation is, you need to hug and love your child because every child needs these.
There are definitely things that our children cannot do or cannot do. In this process, we need to look at the aspects that they can do, rather than what they cannot do, and improve them.
In the education of your child with intellectual disability, first of all, it is necessary to accept his situation. As parents, no one should be blamed or held guilty. The child should be taken outside as much as possible, and help should be provided to play games and establish friendships. The child should not be overly protective, he should be given tasks that he can do and waited patiently, and his self-confidence should be ensured. Care should be taken not to compare your child with other children. Because it is necessary to apply the behaviors you do when raising your normal children to this child for a longer period of time and with patience. The child should be rewarded for his/her successful work.
It is necessary to make sure that everything you teach is clear and easily understandable. The most important thing is to start the child's education and training at an early age. Instead of teaching your child the entire job or subject, you should make sure that your child understands it by repeating it piece by piece.
Artistic activities such as music and theater also improve your child's social life skills in parallel with his/her disability. For this reason, it is necessary to benefit from the healing power of art.
Parents should treat the child consistently, and the father should not support and allow any behavior that the mother does not allow the child to do. Additionally, you should either fulfill something you have promised the child or not promise something that you cannot fulfill. S� When permission is given but not fulfilled, the child's trust and belief in you will be shaken.
The child of someone else in your circle or a family belonging to your relative may be disabled. We should not make them feel strange about this situation and we should try to help them.
