How to care for a child with cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

A good friend of mine has a child who is a congenital cerebral palsy patient. The child is now five years old and still needs someone to accompany them all day. Their intellectual development is very slow, and they are paralyzed and cannot walk on their own. They are now undergoing treatment at a rehabilitation center.

Doctor's answer:

The child is not overly protected; there is no need for pity, no need to give up, and no need to compare with other children. Encourage the child-centered participation in games and activities.
Guidance: Education must be persistent. Language correction and training are long-term and challenging. Parents must have great patience and perseverance. Only with persistence can they achieve results and lay a solid language foundation for individuals with language impairments.
