Discuss the pros and cons of deaf parents letting their deaf son decide whether to get a cochlear implant when he is a teenager
padilas [110]

Answer:

Hope this helps :)

Explanation:

Pros: The son gets to make his own decision if he wants to undergo surgery, The son has got to experience what its like to be deaf, the technology is better now than when he was a baby, the son will be able to function without the implant on if he chooses to get it, his parents will be able to teach him deaf culture/he will get to experience deaf culture, the son gets to make an informed decision since he can do his own research

Cons: If he chooses to get it the learning curve will be much longer and harder than it would be for a baby, it will impact/interrupt his life while he recovers/learns to use the implant, the scar will be bigger and more visible, he has the responsibility of making a life altering decision while still being a teenager, he will have to adjust/learn hearing culture, he will have to deal with being bullied/teased since he is a teen and teens are mean, he will have to go to speech therapy to learn how to properly speak, he will have to learn whatever single sound is which can be overwhelming as an adult/teen.

Which is a sign of postpartum depression?
mash [69]
D. "withdrawing from the baby"

Several Mom's begin to doubt that they can take care of their baby during PPD. As the result, sometimes they won't want to take care of it. A low weight baby can just be because it was born early or a twin.
A shrinking uterus is just what happens after you give birth.

I hope this helps you.
