  2. Introduction • Raising a blind baby may seem hopelessly difficult at first. For most parents, this isn’t something they expected or were prepared for. • It is important to the visually impaired child that he/she feel "accepted" within the family. • Being treated "like the other kids" can help build this feeling of security.

Nurturing parents, regardless of socioeconomic status, are good for all children, but crucial to visually impaired children. • There are Schools for blind in bangaloreto make special care for Visually impaired kids.

FIND SUPPORT • The most important thing to do at this stage is find someone who understands what you are going through and can offer relevant advice. • Enjoy every minute, no matter what! • Relax; Never forget you know your child best; Ask yourself if your concern now is going to matter when your child is an adult. • It’s going to be ok… • Don’t try to “fix” every problem. Take life one day at a time and enjoy every minute. Give yourself a break now and then. • A sense of humor is a must!

  4. READ SOME ARTICLES • There’s so much information out there vying for your attention right now, from medical journals discussing genetic therapy to all the flyers and handouts your therapists have brought with them on home visits. • If you are a social worker organizing a support group for parents of visually impaired children, article reading might be good practice.
