CHILDREN OF PARENTS WITH SPINAL CORD INJURY: ADJUSTING, LEARNING, COPING
Surprisingly little has been written about how a parent's spinal cord injury, or indeed any disability, affects a child psychologically or socially. As far as we know, the child suffers no ill effects in emotional, social, or intellectual development. However, research data are lacking. Most of the available literature for parents with spinal cord injury focuses on the needs of the parents themselves, such as adaptive equipment for baby and child care and sources of emotional and social support. These resources are very beneficial for new parents who have a spinal cord injury or for those who are injured while they are raising small children. One such resource is Through the Looking Glass: National Resource Center for Parents with Disabilities, which publishes a newsletter and has an Internet site for sharing information. Other Internet sites also focus on how to parent with a disability. While this type of assistance to parents clearly benefits children, it doesn't deal directly with the children's perspectives or needs. Some general comments about how children adapt to crises and loss may be helpful.
Young children are very adaptable and can thrive in almost any type of family situation that meets their needs for physical care, affection, intellectual stimulation, and emotional security. One parent can take on specific physical tasks that the parent with a disability cannot perform. Except in cases of severe disability, the parent with spinal cord injury can, perhaps with special adaptations, still participate in tasks such as bathing, dressing, and carrying children. Even when physical care of the child is limited or impossible, there is no reason why the child cannot form a close relationship with that parent, with affectionate bonding, learning, and play. In many families with two able-bodied parents, roles are divided so that one parent has a greater responsibility for childcare than the other.
Nora raised five children after becoming paraplegic, and she is now a grandmother. Her children helped out with a variety of household chores, but not necessarily more than might have been expected in any large family. They developed normally and went on to have careers and families of their own.
Children born or adopted as infants into families in which a parent has a spinal cord injury learn about their parent's disability from day one. They adapt to it as they do to any other circumstances that might be somewhat different from those of their friends. On the other hand, when a parent acquires a spinal cord injury during a child's school years, the child is likely to experience some temporary emotional disruption. Children react to trauma in a parent primarily with anxiety and fear, sometimes in the form of nightmares, developmental regressions, or problems at school. Children may also grieve. Older children or teenagers, who have a better grasp of the implications of their parent's injury, may react with sadness, mourning, or depression.
