This article is too good not to share!! It is amazing what the human brain can do! When my daughter was a year old she was diagnosed with mild CP and developmental delay. The MRI showed images so different from "normal" brains, that the doctors could not say for sure whether she would ever walk, talk, etc. Not knowing their child's future is SO hard for a parents to face. But keeping hope and faith that their child can reach his or her potential is vital. Parents can control their positive optimistic attitude, which will allow them to seek all therapies and resources for their child. This hope and proactive approach will help parents deal with the challenges and ensure that their child's future is the best it can be! Our daughter is a very happy 2nd grader who loves school, reads to her sisters and proudly shows me how she can now do jumping jacks : )
