Sitting the child down in an empty room with markers and paper so that he can draw a picture. 3. Calmly discussing the catheters, tubes, and equipment that the patient requires, and explaining to the sibling why the patient needs them. 4. Reassuring the child that it is normal to get angry and say things that we do not mean, but that we have no control over whether an accident happens.
