  A) If you are noncompliant, your daughter could develop severe bowing of her legs.
  B) It's important to use the brace or your daughter may need surgery.
  C) You are doing a great job. Let's put our heads together on how to keep her busy.
  D) You'll need to accept this, since treatment may be required for several years.

Response:
The nurse should support the parents by encouraging and praising their compliance with bracing. It is also important to work with the parents to help develop age-appropriate diversions to promote normal growth and development. Telling the parents that they must be compliant or their daughter could develop severe bowing does not teach them and does not offer solutions. Telling the parents that they must simply accept this and that the treatment could take years is likely to upset them and does not teach them.
