About Us

Parenting Children with Health Issues is a program for parents of children with special healthcare needs. It was specifically created for caregivers who are raising (or work with) children with any chronic illness or medical condition including allergies, aids, asthma, birth defects, cancer, obesity, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, eating disorders, epilepsy, hemophilia, muscular dystrophy, sickle cell anemia, traumatic injuries, etc.

If your child’s good health depends on routine medical, health or dietary care then this program provides essential information for you. It is also valuable for medical professionals, mental health professionals, and other caregivers who work with these children and their families.
 

Medical science is advancing so rapidly that many diseases now considered life threatening, life shortening or terminal will soon become treatable and perhaps simply a maintenance issue. Children who comply with their treatment programs have a much better chance of maintaining their optimum health potential in order to take advantage of revolutionary new treatments which most certainly loom on the horizon for many. This program is designed to give you the skills you need to increase the odds that your children will follow doctor’s orders, make good health decisions, and choose to live the fullest, richest life possible.

 

Parenting Children with Health Issues will help you respond to your children in ways that will encourage them to accept responsibility for their healthcare, while imparting hope and teaching coping skills. Even at an early age, it is critical that children accept the importance of complying with medical regimens, whether they are special diets, insulin shots, daily medication, breathing treatments, or physical therapy. Parenting styles have a huge impact on how well children accept responsibility and accountability for their healthcare.
