7. The Impact of CHS on Childhood Development and Growth
CHS can significantly affect a child’s development and growth. The frequent infections and immune challenges often interfere with normal growth patterns, leading to potential delays in physical and developmental milestones.
Children with CHS may require additional support to overcome developmental challenges. This includes tailored nutritional plans, physical therapy, and educational support to address any developmental delays or learning difficulties.
Early intervention is crucial in minimizing the impact of CHS on childhood development. Access to pediatric specialists, including developmental therapists and nutritionists, plays a vital role in supporting the child’s growth and development.
The role of family and school in supporting children with CHS cannot be overstated. A nurturing and understanding environment, both at home and school, is essential for the child’s overall well-being and development. (7)
