Kid Therapy: When Kids Can Be the Therapy

| Happy kid at play. |
My experience with children
In nursing school, we did a short rotation in a pediatric unit. I like the times when young patients were about to go home. They look happy and bright almost as good as healthy children without ailments.I miss my teens when they were little. They looked like angels. I always know where they were. They were usually happy. Today, both of them I did not get to easy before I left for work. They ran away. They both come and go as they please.
I will be lying to say, I am okay with that. The thing is, I can't handcuff them to a pole in the house. They are rebelling teenagers. To cope, I watch other children--not babysit, but just watch from a distance. It is free. Look at the pictures below. This week, these children are my tools for therapy--my kid therapy.
