While on my level II fieldwork at Arkansas Children's Hospital, I had a 4-year old cardiac patient who loved to communicate through silly words and songs so that's how I learned to communicate with her, however, when communicating with her mom, I was more professional, but also demonstrated more understanding and patience, spoke in laymen's terms, and demonstrated non-verbal listening techniques due to how emotional she was seeing her child in the hospital.
