Parents of cerebral palsied children have the duty of
educating and leading their children towards adulthood.
Parents, as educators, must know about cerebral palsy
and its effects on the child and the whole family. The
success of the parents in assisting the child is
influenced by numerous factors.
One factor is the manner in which parents understand
·themselves as parents of a cerebral palsied child. Such
an understanding directs their behaviour positively or
negatively. Another factor is the involvement of parents
in the child' life. Involvement demands perseverence,
dedication, and understanding of cerebral palsy.
Parents may also experience feelings of frustration or
acceptance. Experience influences the quality of
relationships as well as the parents' view of life and
the quality of their educational role. If parents lack
understanding, have an apathetic involvement and
unpleasant experiences, the progress of a cerebral
palsied child towards adulthood will be hampered. / Teacher Education / M. Ed. (Orthopedagogics)
