P as Prevention: ” avoid something to happen”
Living with hemophilia can be easier if we help families and young patients to prevent

self exposure to dangers, or low self esteem or emotional problems by
1. LEARNING ABOUT BODY FUNCTIONS LIKE CLOTTING, HEALING
2. LEARNING HOW TO FEEL THE BODY IN MOVEMENT AND PROMOTE SELF-CONFIDENCE
3. ENCOURAGING THE CHILD, SIBLINGS AND PARENTS TO EXPRESS THEIR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS ABOUT HEMOPHILIA
4. SEEKING TOGETHER AS A TEAM FOR ADAPTATIONS AND SOLUTIONS FOR EACH FAMILY ‘ s SITUATION.
P como PREVENÇÃO: ” impedir algo de acontecer”
Podemos viver e con-viver com a hemofilia de uma maneira mais fácil prevenindo: a instalação de problemas emocionais na criança e nos pais como sentimentos de baixa auto-estima, falta de ânimo, passividade e exposição desnecessária a perigos.
DE QUÉ MANEIRA?
