You only have to drive 20 yards down the road before you come across a teenager either talking on their mobile or texting and downloading information from another world onto their latest mobile gadget. There’s an app for this and there’s an app for that. You will struggle to find a teenager who will leave home without their mobile or cell phone, whatever you wish to call it, and you will struggle even further to find a teenager who does not own a mobile phone.

The answers to these questions will tell you if the child is in a restricted access area, such as an intensive care unit, what times of the day the child feels best or is most alert, and if there are any limitations on how the child can play and what he or she can eat.

Armed with this information, the next step in creating a much-needed diversion from the hospital routine can be targeted by considering the child’s age and interests.

It has become socially unacceptable for teenagers not to own a mobile phone. They communicate with one another on a level that has created a sub culture and a language which can only be understood by them. Having said that, twenty or so years ago, teenagers had their own sub language in the spoken form anyway because teenagers need to set themselves apart from their elders and exist in a world which is exclusive to them.

Now, even text language has evolved and divided into sub languages over the last ten years. What was once ‘cool’ to type on text or email is now just ’so last year’ and it has moved on. There are levels of texting within texting and it has developed into its own language with its own etiquette.

Stage 4. Routine – Once you develop your class strategies its now time to increase the speed. Think of it like learning a song. At first you need to work out the parts of the song. If it is an unfamiliar or difficult chord progression you may need to think about the best position and fingering. This can be compared to ‘Class Strategies’. From then on its about increasing the speed. By setting a routine your students know what to expect. This saves time explaining therefore your classes gain momentum. A 30 minute group class with a seasoned pro is like a private hour lesson with most other teachers. Its like comparing a 30 minute pump class at the gym to spending an hour moving from one machine to another with lots of breaks and pointless conversations with other gym members. The sheer pace of the class keeps students focused for 30 minutes. This then conditions them for their only daily practice.

A snack basket may provide a welcome relief from institutional food and much needed energy for busy parents, but be sure the patient is not on a restricted diet.

Other widely appreciated items include magazines, books, audio books, pajamas, art supplies and small craft projects.

Schedule a visit

Depending on the patient, perhaps the best way to help a hospitalized child is to visit. The friendly, familiar face of a neighbor can help a child pass the time, give parents a much-needed break, and distract the child from pain, loneliness and boredom. A small group of the child’s friends might bring in pizza and a game, especially if the patient is hospitalized during a holiday or their birthday.

Remember to tailor the gift, whether a gift of time or a toy, to the child’s health restrictions and interests, and both the patient and parents will be grateful for your effort
