Are you mentally prepared for parents with pediatric polydactyly?

  Parents do not have to be too much in pursuit of the cause of the disease, and they do not have to blame themselves too much if it is the result of parenting failure or even despair. As parents, they should have enough confidence and optimism to face the reality together with doctors and work together to cure their children, so that they can grow up healthily, finish their schooling, and spend a good period of their children’s growth successfully.  It is worth noting that we are not only worried or concerned about the child’s psychological problems, but I think it is more important for parents to pay attention to some “psychological problems” they may have, for example, when parents bring their children to the clinic, they often have a clear tendency to be anxious and often ask a lot of questions, such as whether they suspect that the child has a brain problem, whether it is due to their own parenting, or whether the child has a brain problem. For example, parents often bring their children to the clinic with obvious anxiety and often ask many questions, such as whether the child has problems in the brain, whether it is due to their own parenting mistakes, whether the prognosis is very poor, or even desperate feelings. These are all subconsciously and unconsciously influencing the child.  This causes psychological stress in the child, especially in older children, who are more sensitive, and reinforces the child’s symptoms, which can easily lead to a series of problems that affect the development of their social skills, and even isolation, obsessive-compulsive disorder, etc.  It is not advisable to deliberately focus on and stop the child’s tics, or even to reprimand the child for bad behavior, which can aggravate the symptoms or increase tension within the family, easily causing the condition to worsen, or being one of the reasons for the persistence of the disorder. It is also one of the main reasons for the poor treatment effect.  We have observed clinically that some cases are caused by physical irritation such as conjunctivitis, neck discomfort, nasopharyngeal inflammation, or by stress factors such as parental disharmony, excessive interference, separation anxiety, school transfer, or reprimand. In many cases, these factors may trigger or exacerbate the onset of tic disorder. For example, overprotective mothers, high expectations, excessive interference, neuroticism, and reprimands are particularly likely to trigger or exacerbate tic symptoms in children. On the contrary, rational care, psychological support, and moderate “turning a blind eye” to tic symptoms can reduce the condition.  In conclusion, it is very important for parents and children, especially parents, to maintain an optimistic mindset. The pressure of today’s society is great enough, so it is important that we do what we can to give our children a relaxed family environment, even though we cannot influence the pressure of society on our children! Also to actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, I believe that your child’s disease will not worry about no hope.
