Question
Rewrite according to the ask column My colleague’s child is two years old this year, and children of the same age can speak fluently and express their thoughts and needs, but her child cannot express herself, and she doesn’t respond much when you talk to her. My colleague is afraid that her child might have cerebral palsy and wants to know what the early symptoms of cerebral palsy are.
Answer
Rewrite according to the answer column Movement disorders: Children with cerebral palsy have lower motor abilities than normal peers. Their self-control abilities are weaker. In mild cases, their hands and feet may be slightly uncoordinated or clumsy. In severe cases, they may not be able to grasp objects, walk, or even roll over, sit up, chew and swallow. In addition to movement problems, cerebral palsy may also be accompanied by postural disorders, intellectual disability, speech impairment, visual and auditory impairments, growth and development disorders, and dental development disorders. Many children with cerebral palsy, especially those with limb involvement, may be more stubborn and willful. Their emotional fluctuations are greater, and they may feel restless. Some may even feel lonely and unwilling to socialize. Abnormal behaviors may include compulsive behaviors (forcing oneself to do something), self-injury (hitting oneself or banging one’s head against the wall), and aggressive behavior (rare).
