Parents Day
Children’s parents are mainly underprivileged from villages or rural areas. So many of them are not well
educated. Giving the fact that their children has chronic diseases and has to be hospitalized for a long
time, one of the parents has to stay in the hospital caring for the sick child leaving behind them the other
family members. Parents hardly have someone to talk to them, support them, counsel them, or even
answer their questions regarding their child’s condition. Furthermore, they have no facilities of
entertainment other than watching their children suffering, in pain, and in most times they believe that
their children are dying in front of them and cannot do anything about it. In fact, the parents’ psychological
condition is appalling and indeed have a negative impact on the children.
The patient’s family is often equally dysfunctional. The family frequently requires support as well.
