Question
An eight-year-old child developed cerebral palsy due to early brain stimulation and is currently in the growth phase. Parents are worried about their child’s potential nutritional deficiencies and possible accidents. Could experts guide us on what aspects should be paid attention to in their daily diet?
Answer
For children with cerebral palsy, parents need to show strength and courage, providing more love and care. The focus is on functional rehabilitation and education. Functional rehabilitation aims to address the child’s cerebral palsy issues, while education is the foundation for the child’s independence. It is important to allow children with cerebral palsy to receive scientific, accurate, and effective functional rehabilitation training to maximize their remaining functions, enhance their physical, psychological, social, vocational, and economic abilities, and try to narrow the gap between them and healthy children. This will enable them to be self-reliant even receive education, and find suitable jobs in the future.
