p.s. i want to say i got this question from telstra and found it really interesting... just want to put it forward before im accused of stealing or something :)

Answer 1

I'd give them medicine.

Answer 2

well the things is that when you are in a hospital

you feel fear of everything and you feel alone

the think that you have to do is try in your own why to make them feel like they will not be alone make them feel comfortable

get him an stuffed animal

and tell him that it will be his own guardian angel

and that you want to be here to support blank (name)

be as supportive as you can make things be easier on the child

  

Answer 3

How well do oyu no them .... for one of my kids it would be a game as he loves to play them

if the my girl it would be books because she loves to read

my other son well he loves to make things and colour in so it would be a book on how to make things

so in all it would depend on the child and what they were in to on what I would get them but in the end I think its having some one there with them that helps a lot and hey borad games are fun and you can get the other kids there to join in as well so when you do go they may have made them some friends in there

Answer 4

I would give a stuffed toy, something really nice, like a Nici alligator or Zebra or something. I would also, if they were in primary school and could speak to their friends, make a video of their best friends all with a message of hope to the sick child. Then I would position the tape so that it looked like the stuffed toy was holding and give it to the child.

Answer 5

Well,first of all I would give them a hug,then I would pray for them holding there hand and asking God too heal them. I would spend as much time as I could playing games and talking to them,and getting to know them better.I would let them know they have a knew friend too the end,and beyond.I would find out who they looked up to and see if I could get them there too visit them sometime.I would find out what there last wish would be,and do my best too make it come true. And last but not least,if noting further could be done for them,I would ask Gods favor in taking them gently,and helping there loved-ones cope with what has happened.

Answer 6

I'd give them a really nice book to draw/colour/write thoughts in.

Answer 7

Those little hand held video games are handy for a sick child
