Working with Children in H

Children are generally receptive to books and reading. Incorporating themed and therapeutic books into your
approach to meet the developmental and psychosocial needs of children is an effective strategy while also
promoting literacy.
Please choose a book that relates to a child as they experience hospitalization, medical tests, a new diagnosis,
traumatic event, the death of a loved one or any other medical or stress provoking event. Other books that may
be used may help a child and family explore emotions that can be related to stress.
