Hey Class,
I was searching for more sources, interestingly as I was checking my
facebook updates, I came across a mom who wrote about her daughter, who
she lost earlier this year and her update really touched me. I might use
this as one of my source in my paper.
STICKER THERAPY TIME!!!
"My girls and I spent almost 4 hours of fun yesterday putting together sticker packets. Some of you may not know what these are.
When Abigail spent so much time inpatient as a 1 and 2 year old, she
loved stickers. They were wonderful distractions and because stickers
are so varied, she didn't tire of playing with them. We decided that
with all the chemotherapy and radiotherapy and antibody therapy, we
would also start Sticker Therapy. Many, many people donated stickers
from near and far, for quite a while. And we amassed a big box of
stickers!!! It has lasted us for a long time, and we have been able to
make a lot of Sticker Therapy packets for children.
Abigail
used to hand them out personally, but now we take them to the oncology
unit for the nurses to hand out. The feedback has been wonderful: that
children love having something to manipulate and play with (other than a
screen). So we want to keep making sticker packets and giving them
away, even after we move" (Facebook).
