Emotional Bond: Issue on Acceptance
Joy L. Cristal /March 5, 2011
Have I accepted my deaf child for what s/he is?
Or I still wish s/he becomes
hearing; acts & behaves like a
hearing person?
Do my parents accept me as a Deaf
person? I feel they want me
to become like a hearing person.

Parents’ Control over the Deaf Child: Issue on Deaf Uniqueness:Language, identity & culture
Joy L. Cristal /March 5, 2011
HEARING Parents decide on:
1.Communication mode-preference on speech2. Identity (personal/group)3. Perspectives on Deaf people4.Behavior as a Deaf person
The Deaf child’s reactions to parental control might
change with growing awareness as a Deaf person.
