1.1 Explain The Importance Of Supporting A Child Life Specialist

The children referred to CSC in this study are a mixed population who were considered by healthcare professionals to have safeguarding needs. The risk of subsequent harm for this broad group with safeguarding concerns has not been quantified, but there is robust prognostic evidence of serious adverse outcomes for some subgroups (Hjern et al. 2004; Vinnerljung et al. 2007; Norman et al. 2012).

A childcare provider is someone who helps the children in their community grow and develop at the appropriate stages by age. Some children spend more time at preschool than at home, and with teachers surrounding them they can be nourished, properly fed, appropriately educated as well as allowed to play and explore. Jennifer Patterson is the ECE Child Care Labs Coordinator for The College of Southern Idaho.

The major stressors of hospitalized children include fear of the unknown and unfamiliar people. Lying to children about upsetting realities, such as their diagnosis or a procedure that is occurring, is ineffective and does not help children deal with stress. Educating children on their treatment better prepares them for stressful situations while hospitalized. While nurses identify crying as a sign of stress, child life specialist recognize crying as an effective coping mechanism for stress (Kaddoura). While both nurses and child life specialists are helpful to treating a child, child life specialists focus on children’s emotions while nurses focus on medical care. The issue here is that not all hospitals have child life specialists, so the emotions of children are disregarded. Although medical care is obviously a priority while a child is hospitalized, a child’s emotion and stress are very important to their recovery and health. Research shows that focusing on children’s emotions with the use of child life specialists makes a difference for children and families. Child life programs have been shown to reduce children’s pain, decrease the emotional distress children feel while in the hospital, and lower parents’ anxiety about their children’s hospital stays

Adding to all this the policy indicates that the family will have to be reunify in a range of 20 days. My goal as therapist is to at least educate the family about the challenging that may occur while they start to live together. During the first session which was conducted via Skype; it was emotional, even for me, the child expressed to be content, but at the same time his reaction was panicky, I thought he was having a panic attack. Further, I thought I will concentrate on the family dynamic and how they will relate to each other, but these population is different. The family does not entirely interact or communicate openly, and it is hard to intervene because the family seems to be comfortable in their relation. The parent child interaction is superficial; I try to help the parents to build a loving and responsive relationship with their child and to deal with their youth wrong
