Summary

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a chronic condition which affects the development of motor function and posture, occurs as a result of injury or malformation in the developing central nervous system before, during or immediately after birth. Depending on the health conditions accompanying motor and sensory problems of children with CP in the pre-school period, they are insufficient to be active in their daily lives, to play games, to spend time with their peers and to perform self-care activities. In addition to care difficulties, economic difficulties, problems in reaching rehabilitation centers, many problems such as fear of their children's future, falling behind their peers, and who will take care of their children after them cause anxiety and stress for families. We can foresee that parenting attitudes may change in line with the anxiety and stress created by all these difficulties. The investigator planned to do this study because we found that there is a need for studies examining the effects of the attitudes and anxiety levels of families of children with CP on children's activity and participation and social skills.
