One year back suddenly i felt pain in my right leg which caused me to worry as i couldnt do anything,and then i went with steroids ,MRI but it was getting worse and worse..i had an MRI and they said it was a disc bulge and i couldnt do the things i am supposed to do with kids like lifting or bending or playing iwth them,,,i have been living with it from one year but there is not a day my kids complained me..poor thing they understood my point and my older one especially is helping and taking care of me lot more than everyone...I am Guilty for not doing the motherhood things i am supposed to do but i dont have a way.... but its a blessing that kids understand your pain and know to live with it...so dont hesitate to tell them the truth , they will take it more easily than we think.. Name: TJ Country: U.S.A. Comment: Our toddler has begun acting aggressively in daycare since I have fallen ill. How do my wife and I approach the subject without making him feel worse? We have to obviously have to address the behavior, but we want him to understand that I am still his buddy. HELP! Name: CA.Rajesh Dholu Country: India Comment: Absolutely fantastic.For Parents of newly born child definetly benefitted. It will solve so many problems which are unknown to us. Name: Michele Country: canada Comment: While I agree that it may be disturbing for a child to see a parent hooked up to a machine, I don't agree that this means children should be kept away. I think that for some children having a parent disappear (into the hospital) is much more disturbing. My 3 yr old daughter visited me and became quite used to my IV and tubes. Once she understood what they were she forgot all about them. Name: fart Country: Dubai Comment: i think its sad wen parents are sick!!!!! yea man get ur groove on Name: Lisa Country: England Comment: You should always look after your child even when you or your partner falls ill. Even if that means asking someone else to take care of your child. Children at a young age will not understand what is happening so you must reasure your child. Name: anjali Country: India Comment: a very useful article. everyone should read it so that they dont make the mistakes we make all the time . saying things that confuse instead of reassure.. also we try to do more than we are capable of after the operation/sickness because we dont want our children to worry or be un looked afer for more than abs. needed. as a result we make things more difficult for us. so we should take time to talk and explain to our children in words they understand, so every one comes out easily when a parent falls ill. well done, very good article. Name: Sameer Country: India Comment: Nothing can substitude Parents, what the little children thinks. They are absolutely right. We can live without Parents. But without parents life is very though. I also take care of my parents, when they are ill. It is my love and responsibilty to look after them because of them I am here in the beautiful world...
