Parents and caregivers need to know the major milestones that show the
child is developing normally. They also need to know when to seek help and
how to provide a caring and loving environment for a child with a physical or
mental disability.
All children grow and develop in similar patterns, but each child develops at
his or her own rate.
By observing young children to see how they respond to touch, sound and
sight, parents can identify signs of possible developmental problems or
disabilities. If a child is developing slowly, parents and caregivers can help
by spending extra time with the child, playing and talking with the child, and
massaging the child's body.
If the child does not respond to stimulation and attention, parents and
caregivers need to seek help. Taking early action is very important in helping
children with disabilities reach their full potential. Parents and caregivers
need to encourage the greatest possible development of the child's abilities.
A girl or boy with a disability needs extra love and protection. Like all
children, such a child needs to be registered at birth or soon afterwards,
breastfed, immunized, given nutritious food and protected from abuse and
violence. Children with disabilities should be encouraged to play and interact
with other children.
A child who is unhappy or experiencing emotional difficulties may behave
abnormally. Examples include suddenly becoming unfriendly, sad, lazy,
unhelpful or naughty; crying often; becoming violent with other children;
sitting alone instead of playing with friends; or suddenly having no interest in
usual activities or school work and losing appetite and sleep.
Parents should be encouraged to talk with and listen to the child and, if the
problem persists, to seek help from a teacher or health worker.
If a child has mental or emotional difficulties or has been abused, he or she
should be given counselling to prevent further complications.
