A Practical Guide for Parents
Second Edition
This book advises parents on coping with their child's hospitalisation, relieving their own anxiety so they may dispel their child's fears and concerns. The book contains easy-to-ready tips on preparing children for their hospital stay, handling procedures without trauma, and preventing insurance problems.
The second edition features a journal to inspire open communication and give the child a measure of control over the experience. Children who are reassured about what lies ahead have less anxiety and cope more easily with procedures and treatments. Well-prepared parents can be calm and effective advocates for their children in a situation that can otherwise be traumatic.
