Explain the importance of health professionals knowing their feelings when they are caring for children


Children know almost instantly whether or not you like them and/or whether or not you feel secure taking care of them.
Health professionals need to know and understand this age group and continue working with children until they feel comfortable working with children.

If children are "unlovable," it is sometimes difficult for health professionals to keep their feelings in check. Obviously, this can be true of any age group, yet children need compassion and nurturing so that they can leave the clinic knowing professionals care about them no matter how they behaved.
