ABSTRACT
Communication is the key to providing care for children and their families. Talking with children is a unique art and comprehending what children are saying requires special knowledge and understanding of children’s language and cognitive processes. According to Pontius, communication is a process in which two or more individuals share their thoughts, feelings, ideas, and experiences [1]. Specifically, communication is the generation and transmission of symbols (verbal and nonverbal behaviors) by a sender and the perception and interpretation of a message by a 128receiver. Art, music, crafts, poetry, play, and other modalities have increasingly been appreciated as vehicles for communication and for constructive interventions.
