| dc.description.abstract | The study investigated child-rearing practices by parents of children with physical liabilities. The rearing practices considered in the study include feeding, health care, disciplinary methods, informal sex-role skill training, formal schooling and parent-child relationship. In collecting data for the study, thirty mothers/guardians, thirty children with physical disability and their twenty-tree non-disabled siblings were contacted. The children with physical disability were selected from among those who get some support from two Addis Ababa non-government organizations namely Cheshire Community Based Rehabilitation Project and Voluntary Council for Handicap Project. In addition to the above mentioned, data were collected from the two projects' offices records. The data obtained in the study were analysed using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Accordingly the major findings were: a reasonably long period of breast- feeding, inadequate body washing, an emphasis on non-corporal pum"shment, de- emphasis on informal skill training and formal schooling and general positive relationship between mothers/guardians and their children with physical disabilities. Also, substantial influence of traditional and religious outlook on childrearing practices was observed particularly in relation to health care, informal sex role skill training and schooling. Discrepancies in rearing of children with and without physical were observed particularly in disciplinary methods, informal sex role skills training and formal schooling while similarities were on feeding, health care and parent-child r lationships. Awareness creation and education to the families on physical disability and its intervention is recommended for more positive rearing practices among families of children with physical disabilities | en_US |
