Symptoms Of Cystic Fibrosis
When you can’t do the same things that your friends are, go to the same
places, and you have overprotective parents, it can take a toll on
somebody. Many parents, in an attempt to protect their children from the
outside world, keep their children inside the house and in their direct
supervision at all times. While doing this is understandable and the
parents are just trying to keep their kids healthy, it can make the
cystic fibrosis sufferer feel alone. Parents should make sure that their
children have fun but safe activities to do with their friends. You
can’t keep them locked up forever.2. Growth – Children that have cystic fibrosis are not going to grow as
fast as their peers, and that can make them feel inadequate. While
everybody else begins to grow in height during puberty, for a CF patient
the growth spurt can come several years later, if at all. Many children
will feel embarrassed about this, and the other kids at school are not
going to make things any easier. Classmates that are unaware that
somebody has this disease can often be cruel, and teasing and bullying
may occur.
