We like for parents to be here for rounds. This is an excellent time for you and your child to talk with the medical and nursing staff about your questions, comments, concerns and needs. Please feel free to ask questions or express concerns at any time with the PBMT staff. Schedules For the child undergoing a bone marrow transplant, there is a lot of stress. Along with doing fun activities and talking with your child about their feelings, it is important to develop a daily schedule to help your child cope.
Children usually handle stress better when they have a familiar routine to follow.
You and your child then know what is expected every day. A schedule also provides clear direction for your child's daily activities. Working with your child to develop a daily schedule also allows your child to feel control. Feeling like they have a say in their day increases cooperation. Daily tasks that must be completed, along with fun and rest times can be scheduled.
