Adjustment to a chronic illness by a youngster depends on the environment provided by the family. The child can adjust faster if a positive emotional well-being is maintained with the help of the family. During early stages, the family will seek immediate cure to the illness. As the child becomes an adult, he will be able to cope up with his condition and adjust his life regarding his emotional investments.
