When I became a father
of a daughter, I honestly felt happy and afraid. I'm happy because now there is
someone I will raise and raise this child to be a good person with a purest
heart but on the other hand, I'm afraid because I don't know what to do and how
should I start. And that moment, I realized that the reason of a child having a
father and a mother is to both of them will help together to take care of their
child. However, in some cases, the parent doesn’t want to take care of their
child. For some reason, they just wish they did not have a child. Like Mrs.
Davelle, a 45 years old female, former news anchor on a former TV broadcast
company. She said that she doesn't really want her child and she has been
exposing anger towards her child. It's like she neglects having the child and
feels so disappointed.
Assessment:
Subjective: "I
really don't want that child." said by the parent.
Objective:
You can observe anger of
Mrs. Davelle towards her child, by frequently verbalizing of disappointments
with her child. There is lots of evidence of patient's neglect of child. Also
there are no evidenced of behavior that indicates parental attachment.
Diagnosis:
Impaired parenting
related to parenting difficulties as evidenced by lack of behavior indicating
parental attachment and evidence of neglect of child.
Planning:
After 4 hours of nursing
intervention, the patient will demonstrate two effective skills to increase
parenting effectiveness: Acknowledgement of issue with parenting skills
and identify resources available for assistance with improvement of parenting
skills that are culturally considerate.
Intervention:
- Assess Mrs. Davelle's
situation about impaired parenting. It is okay to convey empathy but remember
to reserve judgment to Mrs. Davelle and offer her educational information based
on assessment like providing information for being a mother out having a child.
- Encourage discussion of her feelings regarding unmet expectations then
discuss setting personal goals. Remember that our goals are that the patient,
Mrs. Davelle, will demonstrate two effective skills t to increase parenting
effectiveness. Mrs. Davelle must acknowledge the issue with parenting skills
and identify resources to improve parenting skills.
- Educate the parent about normal growth and development and age-related
expected behaviors. Since her child is 2 years old, her child may have temper
tantrums assess the child for sudden outburst anger to confirm temper tantrums.
You can check Delayed Growth and Development Nursing Care Plan to
focus on growth and development.
- Explore when Mrs. Davelle experienced child’s problem behavior did. Where it
did commonly happens and what triggers the problem. Did Mrs. Davelle discipline
her child? What kind of discipline she impose to her child? Identify what kind
of behavior she wants to her child.
- Discuss with Mrs.
Danvelle the positive parenting techniques. Encourage the her to convey to her
child that he is loved and with this, she will reinforce mother- child
relationship. Encourage her to praise her child being good and use eye contact.
Make a special time that guarantees the parent-child relationship without
interruptions. Having 30 minutes or more time to play, watch, and/or talk with
the child without interruptions is an effective positive reinforcement to
improve parenting skills.
- Discuss with Mrs. Davelle, the parent that ignore minor transgressions by
having no physical contact, eye contact, or talking of the behavior. This will
help her child to identify the difference between good and bad deeds.
- Encourage the parent to practice active listening towards the child by
describing what the child is saying and reflect back the child's feelings, and
avoid judging. Mrs. Davelle must know that she needs to listen actively to what
her child is saying, most of the time; children find it hard to express or say
what they want and make an annoying cry. The parent needs to avoid her anger by
reflecting back the child's feelings.
- Tell to Mrs. Davelle the difference between discipline and punishment, with
her focusing their communications with children on discipline. Make sure the
discipline corresponds to the unacceptable behavior. If she is irritated, tell
her not to discipline her child because it may result to improper or inappropriate
actions. Tell to Mrs. Davelle not to reprimand her child in front of another
person especially in front of his friends or at the same age.
- Encourage Mrs. Davelle
to use "I" statements when disagreeing a behavior like "I do not
want that." or "I do not like that." Tell to Mrs. Davelle that
when her child done an inappropriate action or behavior, reprimand by focusing
on the act or the behavior, not the child. Do not use words like "I do not
like you." or "I do not want you."
Evaluation:
After 4 hours of nursing
intervention, the patient demonstrated two effective skills to increase
parenting effectiveness: Acknowledgement of issue with parenting skills
and identify resources available for assistance with improvement of parenting
skills that are culturally considerate.

ReplyDeleteIt's going to be ending of mine day, however before ending I
ReplyDeleteam reading this fantastic post to improve my know-how.
Being a single parent is fight against the rules of nature. Children need secure upbringing in nurturing care of both the parents. Single parenting is leading us towards a lame society of disturbed youths. Could the endurance that we exhibit as a single parent be used more constructively rather than destructively? There is a lot to ponder! parenting your teenager
