My
toddler gets very upset when I leave to go
to the hospital for treatment. What can I
do to help my child when I am not with him/her?
Make a photo album. Put pictures
of you and your child and other supportive
people in the photo album. This way when you
are not with your child, there is a reminder
of you and your family.
What are some toys that may be
helpful during this time?
- Play doctor's kit
- Dollhouse with family
- Blank paper, crayons, and finger paints
- Anything that talks about feelings
I want to make sure I spend some
quality time with my child. Do you have
any suggestions?
Reading can be a time of connection. Grab
a short snuggle and a story whenever you
get the chance. If you feel ill, try a
book with a tape. We know that you have
many extra demands on your time, so this
might not be as possible as often as you
would like.
Do you have a list of
websites, books, and other resources on
helping kids cope?
