Pages for a child in hospital, and for the brother or sister at home.
Pages for a child in hospital, and for the brother or sister at home.
Print them, or don't. Nothing asks for your email, and there is nothing to buy on this page.
A page for the day. What happened, the hard bit, something good, and the questions they want to ask someone tomorrow. There is a space to draw themselves onto the crew.
Nobody makes anything for the sibling. They get told to be good, and they wait. This is a page for them — including the feelings nobody prints, like jealous and relieved.
A page of questions, not answers. Will it hurt, how long, can someone stay with me — already printed, so a frightened child does not have to assemble them. Plus a what-helps-me list.
One file, three pages. Print the ones you need and leave the rest — nobody needs all three at once, and that is fine.

A page that only asks for happy answers teaches a child to write happy answers. Both boxes are the same size on purpose.
No points, no stars, no unlocking. The list is called things I got through, and rows are left blank so they can name their own.
The writing lines are twice the height of an adult's, because children write large, often lying down, sometimes with one hand out of action.
The procedure page carries questions and no answers. Nothing on it describes what will happen or how it will feel — those answers belong to the people in the room.
Jealous, guilty, relieved and fine, actually are on the sibling page as normal. A page offering only "worried" tells a child their real feeling is wrong.
No date of birth, no room number, no diagnosis, no hospital name. First name only, and only if they want to. The page belongs to the child.
These are not medical advice and not a clinical tool. They do not explain treatment, they do not tell a child what is happening to them, and they are not a substitute for talking to the people looking after them.
If a child has a question about their care, the answer belongs to their nurse, their doctor, or a child-life specialist — not to a printable.
