Coping
with stress for parents with children with disabilities. Parents of children with disabilities
had very elevated scores on the Parenting Stress Index, signifying that they perceived far
more stress in their role than did parents of children without disabilities.
Grandparenting and
playing with the grandkids. Whatever it is that you're playing, there are two things you have
to take seriously: being together, and the sheer fun of it all.
For
parents who strive to instill values of faith, integrity, compassion, spirituality, service, religion & belief in
our children, here are several great resources and ideas for family
and spirit.
In
the United States alone, more than 110,000 children with special needs are waiting for permanent
homes. Traditionally, special needs children have been considered harder for child
adoption, but experience has shown that many children with special needs can be placed successfully
with families who want them.
The
Internet is filled with websites that are neither family-friendly nor suitable for viewing by
children. You can avoid these websites by using our family
safe search for family friendly and child safe Internet searches.
The
Internet has become a gathering place for the international special needs population. Whether
you are interesting in meeting, sharing, dating, support or
just be heard, it is a place for people of all nationalities, backgrounds, disabilities,
and life-challenges to meet. Here is relationships guidance for
people with disabilities.
Developing
a family tree or researching family history can be an educational,
fun and rewarding experience. Here's how to start and resources to search.
Accessible
home design and modifications. Accidents happen and you could find yourself using a wheelchair
or walker. As we mature and grow older, getting around our home becomes more difficult.Your
home can become more accessible with home modifications.
Here
are several true, refreshing, uplifting , and inspirational
stories of families with special needs and children with
disabilities. We invite you to contribute the story of your family as well.
Here
are the steps to bring your family finances under control:
take the time to work on and follow faithfully a family budget;
eliminate wasteful spending, evaluate purchases and save money on what you buy, get out of debt
methodically, and start a systematic investing program.
We
understand the extra financial burden and time demands on a family with special needs. Our team
has developed a special work at home business solution that can be
run part time or full time and started with little or no money to create family financial security.
Divorce
and children with disabilities - If your marriage cannot be saved, there is still a good
chance that you can negotiate a divorce that is fair to both of you without an angry and destructive
battle.
Support
groups are made up of people with common interests and experiences. People who have been
through, or are going through, a similar circumstance can do more than sympathize with you — they
can relate to what you are going through and keep you from feeling like you are alone.
For
too long, people with disabilities had been told that having families of our own was not an option.
The truth is, though, that there have always been parents
with disabilities, and as our society evolves, more and more of us will have access to that
opportunity.
Giving
care to a disabled family member can bring stress into
a family. It changes the family system and roles. It changes family relationships and
how each family member relates to all other family members
