A child with cerebral palsy (CP) may experience:

- Muscle weakness or stiffness
- Poor coordination and balance
- Difficulty with movement and mobility
- Delayed or absent milestones (e.g., sitting, standing, walking)
- Vision, hearing, or speech difficulties
- Learning disabilities or cognitive impairment
- Seizures or epilepsy
- Spasticity or muscle spasms

As a parent or caregiver, consider:

- Early intervention and therapy (e.g., physical, occupational, speech)
- Creating a supportive environment
- Encouraging independence and self-care
- Managing spasticity and pain
- Addressing associated conditions (e.g., vision, hearing, seizures)
- Building a network of support (e.g., healthcare professionals, support groups)

Remember, every child with CP is unique, and it's essential to tailor your approach to their individual needs and abilities.
