Parenting & Living with CF Question(s)

June 13, 2011 No Comments

I am a 35 year old with CF, raising 3 children…11, 8 & 4. I was on IV’s for 5 months last year and my health has started to decline. My children, especially my 8 year old, have had some difficulty coping. We have been honest in answering questions on a level they can understand. My daughter especially gets destructive and act out when she feels anxious about the situation. I’m looking for feedback on how to redirect and punish inappropriate behavior, while still acknoledging and appreciating her anxiety. I often end up feeling guilty about the anxiety my disease causes, while foregoing the punishment.
