| Abstract [eng] |
Expecting and having a baby in each family equates to the greatest miracle that changes the routine of life, communication and psychological climate. Raising a child requires effort, responsibility, lifelong learning. Parents face many difficulties in raising a child, but families with a disabled child are exposed to a situation of particular vulnerability. Hallahan and Kauffman (2003), Henderson, Brayan (2011), et al. emphasize that the family psychosocial situation is influenced by the family's network of relationships, parents' emotional maturity, relationships with other loved ones, social support, direction of assistance, therefore families have a particular need for help and support. Family members face many issues, anxieties, tensions. Facing a real problem puts the whole family into a disability situation. According to Leliugiene (2003), in case of a child's disability, the parents themselves must first be accustomed to a new role – to that of a disabled child's parents. Niemann and Jacob (2016) believe that parents may find it easier to cope with overwhelmed feelings if they are aware that strong experiences help to cope with overwhelmed burdens and encourage them to act in order to help their child. |
