Abstract
Having a hospitalized child care for plants is presented as a method through which the child can be helped to adjust to the hospital. The child becomes in this way a caregiver to the plant, can role play “medical” procedures with it, and can use the plant to symbolize growth, healing, and the constructive resolution of parent-separation fears.Keywords
