explanation of stroke
Ok everyone I know that most of you caregivers are caring for older people than my 4 yr old son but I have read lots of blogs and been into the caregiver room and all of you talk about their attitudes. Well I know that with brain damage in every age that it affects their personnality and you can see the change more with an older person than with one who had a stroke before they were born. But I have a question. How do you explain to people to get them to understand what your loved one went through and why they act the way they do so others understand. My sons teacher is trying to explain to a bunch of 4 and 5 yr olds why Cayden wont play with them or acts up the way he does when he gets angry. He isnt totally potty trained tho they are working on it and the rest are potty trained. They go home and try to tell their parents about their day but cant explain to their parents about how Cayden was acting and why he was acting that way.
I want to get all these parents to understand that Cayden isnt being this way on purpose but he is developmentally delayed to where he is acting the way they used to when they were two yrs old. Please those of you who have this problem with older or younger stroke survivors please help. Not only that but how do you get these stroke survivors to understand that what they are doing isnt right. I know not many can help me with me having a 4 yr old and having to explain to a 2 yr old but hopefully one of you could possibly maybe not from experience but by advice or whatever help me with Cayden and getting him to understand that his attitude needs to change.
I hope I explained what I need help with correctly to where everyone who reads this will understand what I am trying to say.
thanks for any help I get.
