As parents and family member we spend countless hours

Caring for young children. When a family has a child who

Cannot hear, there are expectation that everyone may need to make.

We need to make sure that the child receives all that they need to become productive members of society, The work will include creating a safe environment for the child, but it can be very stressful and tiring for the parents.

This brief synopsis will offer information to help families and caregivers of deaf children find ways to empower the family and the child.

:

You will worry about what to do:  So many processionals, so little time. so much information….

Denial: No, This is not true, this can not be happening to my family.

Fear:  What does this all mean? What will happen to my child?  My family?  Our future?

Sadness: Crying, feeling of shame, desperation.  Why me?

Anger: Anger at yourself God, the world in general again Why me?

Hopeless: My family is doomed, my child is deformed what did I do?  Why Me?

What will our neighbor’s friends think? Why me, I am so ashamed.

Guilt: What did I do?  Did I not eat right? Why me?

Loneliness: I am alone in all of this…Why me?  Is there Help?

No one understands: Too much advise not enough solutions.  Why Me?  Why are people not listening to how I feel?  What I think?

Accept that your child cannot hear well: What a concept.  So easy to say so hard to do.  As time passes though you will learn that your child needs the same love, affection, discipline,

and learning as other children.

Take action: Understand that you have many mixed feelings and are receiving many conflicting reports but follow your heart, your gut.  What feels right for you?  Your family?  Do it.  Take charge. Search out other families of deaf children.  Deaf adults in your community that can offer you support and understanding.
