and reduce their stress will allow them to see their daughter without increasing the 10-year-old's
anxiety. Third, let the parents know you recognize their need to talk to the doctor as soon as possible
and you will act as their advocate to get that accomplished. Last, but important, you want to ask if there
is anyone you can call to help. There may be children who need to be picked up from camp/day care, and
a neighbor or grandparent may be able to assist.
