What are the precautions for caring for children with cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

My nephew experienced oxygen deprivation during a normal delivery at birth, which led to cerebral palsy. His language, motor skills, and self-care abilities are significantly behind others. He's grown up, but he hasn't been sent to school yet. My sister-in-law is very worried, and I'd like to help her by learning about care methods.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Family care for children with cerebral palsy should pay attention to the following points:
1. Pay attention to safety: Children with cerebral palsy have delayed development, and their motor skills develop later than those of healthy children of the same age. They may have difficulty moving. Therefore, it is important to have someone supervise them. Be cautious to avoid accidental injuries.
2. Indoor environment: The indoor air should be fresh, with ample sunlight, good ventilation, and a comfortable temperature. Regularly disinfect with ultraviolet radiation, and frequently mop the floor with disinfectant to ensure the cleanliness of the child with cerebral palsy.
3. Hygiene: Maintain good hygiene for the child with cerebral palsy. Bathe them regularly, and promptly change their clothes, bed sheets, and bedding.
