Children and Psychologists.....

mneville · Dec 28, 2009

My 5 year old is hating having CF these days. He is constantly commenting that he hates himself, hates CF and hates us for giving it to him. Granted, he has just had his 4th sinus surgery and is looking at his 4th PICC line and a 5th sinus surgery. Aidan is also very intense, spirited and challenging without CF so this makes it doubly hard. I want to handle his outbursts the best I can. Any suggestions? Do any of your children with CF see a psychologist?

I know this thought has crossed my mind as well. Although my daughter doesn't need one right now, I will get her help if she needs it. If it doesn't help then what was the harm in trying to help your child emotionally.

I know this isn't going to solve all of your problems. But the book Parenting Children with Health Issues, by Foster Cline and Lisa Greene can help you learn how to talk to him about his concerns.. Hope this is a short phase for him.
