6Es strategy for guiding conversations with dying children
Establish the importance of open communication between parents, children and caregivers early in the course of illness
Engage: open a dialogue with the child at the appropriate time, being alert to cues of increased stress
Explore: assess what the child already knows and wishes to know about his or her illness
Explain the childs medical condition in a developmentally appropriate manner
Empathize: allow the child to be upset and express his or her feelings
Encourage: Reassure the child that his or her health care providers will be available and continue to support him or her through the disease process and that their family will be there for them
