summary

Cerebral palsy is one of the most common motor disorders in children and often leads to significant movement limitations, resulting in a high level of dependence on mothers or caregivers for daily activities. This book emphasizes the importance of mothers’ physical, psychological, social, and spiritual well being alongside the care they provide for their children. Organized into three chapters, the book first highlights the necessity of maintaining mothers’ health, then explores the caregiving stresses experienced by mothers of children with cerebral palsy, and finally presents practical strategies for coping with these stresses. It aims to empower mothers and caregivers to practice self care and improve their quality of life while caring for their children.
