Children are major consumers of health care. Early child care is a very important and often overlooked component of child development. Child care providers are our children's first teachers, and therefore play an integral role in our systems of early childhood education. Quality care from a young age can have a huge impact on the future successes of children. Children always need special care to survive & thrive. Good health of previous members of society should be ensured as prime importance in all countries. As said by Karl Menninger "what is done to children, they will do to the society" children are wealth of tomorrows. Children express their needs and stories differently than do adults. Children do not yet have the vocabulary to express themselves as adults do. Historically, children have been considered "miniature adults". A child's act of play was even once considered "child's work" in attempt to legitimize a value that adults place on what a child does. Children are better able to express emotions through objects and through symbolic play; this idea is the basis of play therapy. One of the main reasons why play therapy works with children is because it feels natural to them; play is not something they need to learn how to do. Play promotes healing and helps the child to cope with stressful experiences. Children Won fear treatments are helped to release their feelings in their use of falls and other toys. The attitudes and feelings that children reveal in their play are full of meaning. Every opportunity should be afforded the hospitalized child to use play and other expensive activities to lessen stress, thus promoting healthy resolution of the negative aspects of the hospital experiences.
