Option #1: Parents of Children with Long-term Illness or Disability, Essay

This week analyze problems experienced by parents with children who have long-term illnesses or disabilities. Consider the following situations and the impact of each on parent-child socio-emotional relationships and parenting:

• The hospital is a far distance from where the family lives, and the parent/parents is/are unable to stay nearby to visit the child daily/weekly.
• Finances (and familial relations such as marriage or co-custody) are strained by the cost of treatment and/or there are other children in the home needing care.
• Ill children often feel abandoned and act-out, often rejecting the parent(s), who, in turn, may feel guilty and fail to discipline the children properly.

Your paper should be 2-3 pages in length and conform to the CSU Global Writing Center (Links to an external site.). Or you may develop a 5 to 6 slide PowerPoint presentation with voice narration. Graphical images are encouraged to enhance your presentation. Include at least three scholarly references in addition to the course textbook. The CSU Global Library is a good place to find these references.
