Raising a child, with or without R-CIS, is never easy. R-CIS
doesn't change the basics of parenting. However, it adds new
challenges, from birth to the teenage years.
Remember, R-CIS is only one part of your child's life.
Families do better if they try to fit R-CIS into their lifestyles,
rather than fitting their lifestyles around R-CIS.
As your child grows, he or she will have questions about R-CIS. You
will learn along with your child, and you will share what you learn.
Your goal is to instill knowledge and a positive attitude in your
child. These tools will prepare your child for R-CIS self-care. You
want to ensure that your child is healthy, both mentally and
physically.
Learn basic information about R-CIS.
Whether your child is at school, day care or staying with a
friend, you may want to share the information provided in this
section to educate others about R-CIS.
When you are a teen with R-CIS, you will continue to need your
parents' support. However, the shape of this support has
to change. Work with your support team to help your family

The issues R-CIS poses will change as your child grows and
matures. This guide gives some basics on toddlers through
teens.
