Engaging Children - How?: A Paediatrician's Perspective

Andrew Bush

Royal Brompton Hospital

This is a personal practice paper on communication with children. The requirements for success include setting up the right environment and ensuring privacy. Although parents' views are important, children deserve time and space for their own voices to be heard. Age-appropriate communication and absolute honesty are essential. Strategies that I have found useful are discussed, together with their considerable limitations. Despite every care, humbling failure is frequent, as in all aspects of dealing with children. One then has to forgive oneself, learn what lessons one can, and start again.

Key Words: asthma • adolescence • children • communication • cystic fibrosis
