Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Esther. This one's really interesting. As you " approach with " the excellent information provided by and , " approach as " a sharing encounter. Ask a couple of questions, before mixing other questions with the advice you wish to communicate. You may find the responses enlightening; certainly they should be helpful for the immediate concern, but they might also provide bits and pieces of information that'll be helpful in service delivery for other problems, if not suggesting possible questions to ask when working with other problems. Two additional points. One, it would be helpful to know in what settings the infants " cry, " is it at the clinic, or home visits, or " everywhere. " Two, these mothers are doing what a " good mother " does, hence their actions make them " good mothers " in the eyes of others. How can culture not be some part of all this? I suspect you'll find that " weight " is linked to images of health. For infants, for children, and for adults and seniors.
