BOOKS

While there are several online resources, don't forget to see if your hospital has a Resource Library where books and pamphlets can be read. Check out your local library too.
I hope to have a larger list of books as time passes [reccomendations?].

CD & Book - In The Hospital Program
by Peter Alsop & Bill Harley
This world class program was developed to help children, families and professionals deal with the challenges and fear that a child facing an illness or a trip to the hospital can have. It works.
Program includes the following topics:
  • If It Doesn't Have Me - separation from family and friends;
  • A Friend Like Me - emotional support;
  • The Quadrapus Story - about an octopus with four legs;
  • Let's Face It! - the reality of physical disabilities;
  • My Little Clock - asking for respect;
  • Inspection! - invasion of privacy;
  • Samit And the Dragon - using imagery to help heal;
  • Needle-ee, Noodle-ee - if kids ran the hospital!;
  • New Ground - loss from a different perspective;
  • The Castle Story - While I'm Sleepin' - for children afraid to go to sleep;
  • Take A Step - big jobs start with one small step.
