The designation “children with special needs” is for children who may have challenges which are more severe than the typical child, and could possibly last a lifetime. Star Home Nursing provides these children with the needed extra support and additional services. They will help the family create distinctive goals, and will provide added guidance and help in meeting academic, social, emotional and medical milestones.
Parents and Caregiver Stress Impacts Children
Our Children are our mirrors. They show us our stress levels. Each stressful adult day seeps into the nervous system of our children, and they reflect it back to us. Whenever we see a rise in anxiety and stress behaviours in our children, we need to take a good look at our day-to-day lives and our own stress levels. It’s hard to see ourselves as contributing to our children’s challenging behaviors, but the good things is that it’s never too late to make changes and adopt a softer, more compassionate approach.Parental Self-Care
In our experience working with families of children or adult people with special needs, they receive little instructions on how to best meet the needs of their children or family member without feeding the already toxic levels of extreme family stress. The stress within special needs household is a topic which Star Home Nursing does not ignore.What’s missing in our “special needs” world? “Parental Self-Care”.
Star Home Nursing provides not only respite care but as well as long term care at home, for the parents to obtain the self-care they need which often neglected because they are focused on the deficits of their children. Our Nurses are prepared in providing an overall quality of life for the patients and their families.
