When a young child goes into hospital, separation from the parents can be a cause of deep unhappiness. At one time it was believed that parents visiting their children unsettled and disturbed them. Psychiatrists now believe that frequent visits by parents are highly desirable and that lack of emotion on the part of a child may be a sign of hopeless grief. With A Consultant Psychiatrist and A Children's Specialist.
